Happy New Year! We have many exciting opportunities planned for you in 2017. Some of the projects are a result of what you, our alumni, mentioned in the alumni attitude survey. We are thankful for the one thousand plus alumni who participated in the survey. As a result, an alumni task force was formed, which includes faculty, staff, alumni and students. We will begin providing feedback from the study and continue to make improvements to the alumni relations program at CUW. One initiative is the new alumni platform,
CUWConnect.com. Read more about it in the article below. There are many ways you can stay connected and be involved with your Alma mater, no matter where you live. You can attend events, watch concerts/games/chapel online, participate in online educational programs or social media. In the meantime, you can always reach me at
[email protected] with your questions, suggestions and comments. Stay Tuned!
Serving Him and you,
Michelle "Mickie" Wagner '96
