Dear
Alums -
In
2012 I had the opportunity to meet with so many of our alums face to face and I
want to once more express my gratitude to you for your dedication to Seattle
University and our community.
In December we had our annual Advent Mass, Christmas Reception (December 9) and
the 2nd annual Downtown Breakfast (December 13), with the biggest turnout at
both events since I've began my role as Assistant Vice President of
Alumni Relations. We've had alums reach out to us from across the
country to form chapters (as well as in Thailand and China), and take a more
active role in their alumni experience. I've seen alumni renew their
relationship with their alma mater and invest their time, energy and resources
in assisting our office with our goal of being
a world class alumni relations office. You are also helping us to build a
stronger cadre of volunteer leadership. I wanted to let you know
how much that means to me and your University. Your efforts are
being noticed!
As we
kick off 2013 I am so excited to share my enthusiasm for the great offerings we
will roll out this year! There are traditions like the 28th Annual Alumni
Awards in April and some new traditions we are bringing back, like Homecoming on
February 2nd!
In an effort to keep our alumni body growing and engaged
we want to ensure that we help keep you connected to Seattle
University. Please keep checking our events page for opportunities to join us as well as join
our Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter
accounts to keep current all our offerings at Seattle U!

love to see you at these upcoming events:
