From Your Alumni Office
The deep freeze, snow and
ice keep us eager for the promise of Spring. However, cold
weather didnt prevent many alumni/ae in and around Akron from
attending our reception with the Office of Admission to greet and
encourage prospective students to select Ohio Dominican as their final
choice. The Office of Admission welcomes the personal
testimonies and interaction in many regions where enrollment
initiatives are taking place. Please let us know if you would
like to be involved in these activities.
Details
appear below for our March 11 Celtic Tenors Concert in
Cincinnati. Time is of the essence in securing the
appropriate size bus and making the lunch reservations.
PLEASE CONTACT US BY FEBRUARY 22, 2007 IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND.
Similarly,
many young (and young at-heart) alums have made reservations for
our first ODU Breakfast with the Bunny/Easter Egg Hunt on March
24. Its almost full, so please be sure to make your
reservations quickly. If neither of those activities suit you,
perhaps you will join us for the Fick Literary Brunch on
April 22, when we remember Monsignor Fick, and other members
of the Ohio Dominican family at Mass, and enjoy the presentation
by author Russell Poole (National Road) at the brunch
following Mass. We enjoy seeing you on campus and hope you will
join friends at one or more of these events.
June Reunion
and October Reunions (at Homecoming) will be here before you
know it! If you graduated in a year ending in a 2 or a 7
and would like to e-mail or call friends about YOUR class (or
cohort!) party, let us know.
In the
meantime, we hope you enjoy talking with one of our great
students during the Spring Phonathon to benefit the Annual Fund.
Every dollar adds up, and we are grateful for your support!
Please drop
us a note to let us know what is new in your life, or how we can
better serve you. Until then, may the upcoming Lenten season be
a time of blessings and growth.
