From
Your Alumni Office
This year is only two weeks old,
so it’s still timely for us to extend our warmest good
wishes to each of you. May the year ahead be filled with
blessings for you and those you love.
We are
pleased to publicly congratulate and welcome the August
and December 2006 graduates to the Alumni Association!
It was fun to meet and greet many of our new alums at
the Welcome
Reception held in December. Congratulations and
best wishes to each and every one in the Class of
2006!
We are
looking forward to meeting many more alums at the
February 8 NE OHIO Admissions/Alumni Reception in Akron.
We plan for this to be the first in a series of regional
events in 2007. We also hope many Greater Cincinnati
alums will join those traveling to Cincinnati for the
March 11 outing detailed below. And our first Breakfast
with the Bunny/Easter Egg Hunt on campus is certain to
be a sell-out (even though it’s free!) so be sure to
make your reservations early. In addition to these
events, our June Reunion, and October Homecoming &
Reunion, the NACA has some pretty exciting events
planned this year for you, too. We look forward to
sharing fun and rewarding times with you in the months
ahead.
Lastly,
be sure to check our website from time to time. It is a
work in progress, evolving to meet your needs. And you
might not need it, but we think you might love
the new ODU screensavers/wallpapers available for you to
download at http://www.ohiodominican.edu/alumni/coolstuff.asp.
Let us
hear from you – that’s one of our favorite job
perks!
