Dear Friends,
Welcome to Spring!
The University is bustling, as you might expect, and students are getting ready for all that comes with the end of an academic year 鈥 reflection, celebration and excitement about what's happening next.
I hope you have had an opportunity this academic year to participate in one of the many alumni engagement opportunities that we offer. If you have, I would love to hear any and all feedback.
If you haven鈥檛 had the opportunity to attend an event but have another idea that you think might resonate, please also feel free to reach out. My door is always open.
With care,
Beth
