Greetings SU Alumni Nation, 

Summer is officially here and the SU Alumni Federation is as busy as ever! 

Last weekend, in New Orleans, 100+ registered alums participated in the 2019 Leadership Summit! We spent 2 days focused on “Alumni in Action: Fulfilling the Promise”. We met on the beautiful Southern University at New Orleans campus and it was great to be back at SUNO. Thank you Chancellor Mims-Devezin and the entire SUNO team for hosting us!

A WORD REGARDING THE CLASS of 1969 REUNION from
Class President James Handy
Dear Classmates,
I recently sent a letter outlining plans for the SU1969 Class 50 th Reunion Celebration. I talked about our goal of establishing a $100,000 endowed-scholarship fund through the Southern University Foundation. To facilitate that effort, an online donation portal has been setup by the Foundation for the Class of 1969. You can also send in your donations by mail.
 To help the committee monitor our progress, please do the following:
 1) Send an email to the committee ( su1969class50th@yahoo.com ) with the amount of your pledge, including any matching donations.
 2) Open up the portal using the link below, select the amount you want to donate, fill-in your address with email and credit card information, and DONATE.
REMEMBERING WITH LOVE OUR SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY FAMILY
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
