Greetings!
It was wonderful to see many of you back on campus for Homecoming 2012: Back to the Future! Between having the largest 50 year class turnout (51 members of the class of 1962!), a good showing from the 25 year class of 1987, a groovy Delorean, a fantastic slate of award winners, and an over-flowing pontoon filled with our grand marshal family... it was a fantastic weekend! The busy-ness never stops in the Alumni office, though. We're back at work planning events to allow you to connect in your space of the world as well. We'll be in upstate New York, Connecticut and Philadelphia this week, followed by events in Washington DC, Wheaton, IL and Texas in November. Let us know if you would like us to visit, and we'll continue working to get to all of our areas with pockets of alumni and friends! Go Scots!
