Looking Forward, Looking Back
As we mark the conclusion of FY09, I am pleased to say that your Alumni Association has succeeded in achieving its goals of promoting greater involvement and increasing awareness among both alumni and students about the value of UMass Amherst as an ongoing, lifetime resource. With the launch of MaroonCentral we have provided, as part of our e-service strategy, a social networking service that encourages communication and professional networking, as well as job postings and mentoring opportunities. The response has been very positive with hundreds of students and alumni registering monthly.
Reunion Recap
Alumni from across the country came back to campus to celebrate their past, present, and future affiliation with UMass Amherst in June. The Alumni Association hosted the 50th Reunion Class of 1959, along with all Emeriti alumni who graduated in previous years. A highlight of the weekend was the presentation of the Class of 1959 Nursing Scholarship Endowment.
Message from Your Alumni Association President
Your UMass Amherst Alumni Association is a large, vibrant, dynamic and evolving organization. Since its founding in 1874, the Alumni Association has served to support our alma mater, to be a voice for alumni, to be a leader in encouraging alumni loyalty and involvement, and to be an advocate for our university. I look forward with much enthusiasm and excitement to serving as your Alumni Association president for the next two years.
