From Alumni Relations

Dear Alumni,

It is with tremendous pride that I joined the Alumni Office as the director of alumni relations for the College of Arts and Sciences this past year. The opportunity to “come home” to represent Suffolk University as a CAS alumna and partner with Dean Kenneth Greenberg, the talented faculty in the College, and dedicated career services and admissions directors as we engage alumni and share the College’s substantial growth in recent years, has been both personally and professionally rewarding.

This year the University’s Alumni Association launched a campaign to support alumni in their personal and professional networking by promoting the Alumni On-Line Community and Career Advisory Network. What a marvelous opportunity to reconnect with your friends from the Rathskellars in the cafeteria, the study groups in the lower levels of the Sawyer Library, your dorm friends from Miller Hall or 150 Tremont Street, or the friends you met before classes at Capital Coffee or afterwards at the timeless Red Hat. This valuable online resource is also a fun, effective way to learn from the wisdom and experience of top professionals in your industry.

One of the most exciting initiatives to develop this year included the celebration of the 25th Reunion during the Alumni Weekend program in June. As the Class of ’83 Reunion Committee, led by Steve Skiffington BS’83 and class president Ann Harrington BS’83 met to connect with lost classmates, they rekindled friendships and became re-engaged in a university that had grown physically and academically.

I have enjoyed collaborating with these alumni around Reunion, and also meeting or reconnecting with alumni through programs such as the popular Third Thursday Networking Nights. I encourage you to attend these events and invite you to tour the modern campus. The beautiful, new high-definition TV Studio at the Rosalie K. Stahl Center at 73 Tremont is a stunning addition and should not be missed.

As we embrace the fall in New England, the Suffolk University Alumni Association will continue to offer social and professional programming across the local and national Alumni Chapters. Please continue to view the program listings on the Alumni Association website.

I look forward to seeing you this fall.
