LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
We're still on a Reunion Weekend high! It was great to see so many of you back on campus. We had a great time, but we want to make sure that you felt the same. Please complete the Reunion Weekend evaluation at www.acphs.edu/reunion. As we look ahead and plan for next year, your feedback is invaluable and will help us make necessary adjustments to ensure an even better weekend in 2013! Coming soon Reunion Weekend photos.
Another highlight from Reunion Weekend was the Friends of Noah Sorensen '97 and Mario Zeolla '97 Memorial Golf Tournament. Over 130 golfers participated and paid tribute to these incredible men. For photos, tournament results and more information visit www.fonsmz.org.
I would like to extend our appreciation to all who supported and made gifts to the ACPHS Annual Fund and the College this year. Without your generosity, the transformations and changes we've seen through the years would not have been possible. The College's fiscal year ends on June 30. If you have not made a commitment yet and would like to do so, please visit www.acphs.edu/donate.
With the official start to summer just days away, we're busy finalizing our July and August events. On July 30 we will be hosting the 19th Annual President's Cup Golf Tournament (formerly Dean's Cup) at the Albany Country Club. In August, we're heading to Saratoga Raceway and Saratoga Polo. More details around those events will be available in the July Alumni Alert.
We hope to see you this summer!
Bill Jabour
Director of Annual Giving and Alumni Relations

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE
Reunion Weekend 2012 was an exciting time for alumni and friends and a tremendous success for the College. Following breakfast on Saturday, folks made their way over to the new DeNuzzo Center for Innovative Learning on the third floor of the library for a formal dedication honoring the College's incredibly generous contributors who made this new center a reality. The library renovations began in 2010 and additional construction to connect the first and second floors is currently underway and expected to be completed by the time students return to campus.
Another celebration over Reunion Weekend took place at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new $2.5 million athletics facility project. Despite the rain, students, coaches, administrators, alums, and trustees turned out in support of the renovations and to celebrate. The first phase of the project, which includes a synthetic turf field and rubberized six lane running track, is expected to be completed this fall.
Both of these projects and fundraising initiatives are part of the $50 million Moving Forward Capital Campaign. Thank you for helping get these projects off the ground. We continue to need your support and appreciate everything you have done to keep these important student-based initiatives going. |
