September 2006 It's time to begin another academic year, and for the Alumni Board, it's time to pass the torch to a new president. Stay tuned to meet and greet the new prez next month. We're always looking for more alumni to help us represent our alumni with as many voices as possible. If you or any alumni that you know are interested in getting involved, contact Ema Gantcheva, '06, who joined Alumni Programs in May and is now organizing alumni chapters worldwide. No matter where you are, now you can reconnect with the AU community online. Just log onto our new inCircle Online Community. Connecting virtually not enough? Mark your calendar for this year's Alumni Weekend, Oct. 20-22. There are lots of changes happening on campus, so come back and see how the AU landscape is evolving. Sincerely, |
