A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI PROGRAMS

Greetings fellow alumni,

Summer is almost here, and I would like to take this opportunity to let you know what is going on in alumni programs in the next few months. The GW Alumni Association (GWAA) and the Office of Alumni Programs are busy coordinating summer activities and making plans for next year, and I encourage you to read the Colonial Cable each month for updates.

The GW Alumni Online Community is continually evolving, with opportunities to become a career advisor to current students, an enhanced online directory, interactive class notes, regional chapter pages, and an integrated events calendar. If you are not already a member, sign up now at www.alumni.gwu.edu.

The Alumni Course Audit Program began summer registration on May 16 – registration is still open for both summer sessions, and I urge you to sign up for a class today. The Course Audit Program is an excellent way to remain connected to your University and engage in life-long learning. Visit our website for more information.

It’s never too early to mark your calendars for Colonials Weekend 2005, which will be held October 21-23. Highlights include the annual kick-off party at Alumni House, reunion activities for the undergraduate classes of 1980, 1995, and 2000, Colonials Village, lectures, and open houses with the deans. We hope to see you there.

Finally, I would like to commend all of our alumni volunteers, with special thanks to GWAA President Kristen Betts, for another excellent year. Your invaluable service has made GW’s alumni community stronger, and we could not develop our programs without you.

Sincerely,
