A Note from the Office of Alumni Relations
Welcome back to our faculty and students from spring break. We hope you enjoyed your time off even if we did have one day of snow.

 

We will gladly say goodbye to old man winter in five days and if we're lucky, the snow will be gone by Alumni Reunion Weekend, May 2-3.

 

Speaking of which, we are planning an enjoyable and memorable time for all.  Invitations are in the mail and online registration is now available.  We encourage all alumni to come back to celebrate and reminisce.  Don't forget to take advantage of our early bird discount if you register by March 31. We look forward to seeing you!
