Alumni and Friends

Greetings Alumni & Friends,

It is my sincere pleasure to serve as the Alumni Relations Director at the University.  I have been privileged over the past few years to witness firsthand the enormous enrollment growth and transformation of the campus.  I am most gratified though, with the opportunities to meet so many of you here on campus or at one of the many alumni events.

I am excited about the upcoming year and express my gratitude to you for your support of the university and the alumni association.  Your resources and time invested in the university have and will continue to make a difference in our success.   Moreover, your efforts help us to continue to transform the lives of our students.

On behalf of the alumni staff and association I wish you the best and look forward to communicating with you frequently throughout the year.
