Greetings fellow alumni –
Take a trip to Ireland. Come back to campus and watch an electrifying
basketball game. Attend a lecture. No matter what you like to do, there
is a way to get involved at GW. The George Washington Alumni Association
and the Office of Alumni Programs work continually to bring you innovative
and interesting programs – if you haven’t
taken advantage of our offerings yet, we hope you will soon.
One way to stay informed of upcoming events and activities is to read
each issue of the Colonial Cable. In the regional events section,
you will find what is going on in your area – everything from
lectures to president’s
receptions to tailgate parties. Another great way to learn about events
at GW is to check the Calendar
of Events on the Alumni Online Community. And keep an eye out for
the Regional Round Up each month, which contains details of
alumni events in your area.
If it’s sports
you like, several basketball tailgate events are coming up in February
– scroll down to see if one is happening near you. Also, if you
reside locally, the Capital Area Network of alumni sponsors several
intramural sports teams, including baseball and soccer; new teams will
be formed this spring. Read the alumni news section over the coming
months for more information.
Save the dates, October 20 – 22, for Colonials Weekend 2006, featuring reunions for the undergraduate classes of 1956, 1976, 1981, 1996, and 2001, and events that will appeal to alumni of all ages. The Kick-off Party takes place on Friday night, and the Colonial Lecture Series happens Saturday afternoon, to name two of these special events. It is sure to be a great time and we hope that you attend; stay tuned for more information.
For the adventurer, this year’s Alumni Travel Program offers
six different packages beginning in May 2006. You can take a tour through
Sicily, visit Ireland, Portugal, or Normandy, or cruise the passage
of Lewis and Clark with other GW Colonials aboard an authentic reproduction
of an 1800s-era riverboat. Visit our website
for more information on the Alumni Travel Program.
As you can see, there is plenty for you to do at GW. So get involved
with your alma mater!
Sincerely,
Scott M. Mory, BA ’96, JD ’99
Executive Director of Alumni Programs and Annual Giving
