Congratulations to the Class of 2013, we welcome you to the ACPHS alumni community. I encourage you to stay connected and consider serving on the Recent Graduate Council where you can also volunteer to mentor current students.Your involvement as alumni is invaluable.Get involved and stay connected.
Reunion Weekend is also a great way to keep that connection alive. This year we welcomed alumni back from the classes of 1957, 1958, 1963, 1965, 1968, 1970, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1980, 1983, 1988, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2011 and many more. From beginning to end, the weekend was filled with fun and excitement. For highlights, photos, and an online evaluation please visit www.acphs.edu/reunion.
With July fast approaching and a new academic year right around the corner, we will soon be closing the 2012-13 fundraising initiatives. If you have not made a gift to the College during this academic year please consider a contribution today at www.acphs.edu/donate.
Thanks so much and I hope to see you at one of the Alumni Events this summer.

 Panther Project Dedication Ceremony
Patrons and supporters of the Athletics Field Renovation Project and The Germano Challenge gathered for an intimate celebration over Reunion Weekend as the College unveiled the new stadium seats.
As part of the Moving Forward Capital Campaign, the College broke ground last summer for Phase 1 of a two-phased $2.5 million athletics track and field. As part of the fundraising campaign for this project, alumni and trustee Geno Germano '83 and wife Theresa '86, made a very significant commitment to the project and challenged their fellow alumni to help them "fill the seats." To date more than 70 of the 80 seats available have been secured and named through the generosity of ACPHS alumni, families, and friends.
The College looks to complete Phase 2 of the project in 2013-2014. For ways to support email alumni@acphs.edu, visit www.acphs.edu/donate or call 518.694.7393.

Library Supporters Honored
On the Saturday over Reunion Weekend, President James Gozzo recognized and thanked all of the alumni and friends who have helped transform the Library from the one room book repository it once was in the O'Brien building to the three-story innovative learning environment it is today at the center of campus.
The champagne reception was an opportunity for supporters to see the magnificent transformation and hear about the details and phases of the project, which all began in summer 2010. Thank you again for your generous contributions. If you haven't already seen this new space and would like to, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at 518.694.7393.
