September 2013
Greetings!

Greetings! I hope this newsletter finds you well as you enjoy the tail end of summer. I know it feels like autumn is here but I hear that the sun will be back soon! 

 

I had an opportunity to spend some time with our fabulous alumni at last month's alumni happy hour and I look forward to meeting more of you in person at future gatherings.

 

In the meantime, I am happy to share with you this month's events, networking and job opportunities, and news from your fellow alumni.  

 

Until next time,
