If you have not had an opportunity to participate in recent Alumni events, please join us. The College of Arts & Sciences Alumni Board has a variety of events planned throughout the year, and we look forward to seeing you. our Alumni Board members are goaldriven and filled with enthusiasm. our goal is to provide greater opportunity for all alumni to strengthen ties and remain involved with the University. In furtherance of that goal, I would like to take the opportunity to introduce The young Alumni Advisory Group (yAAG). yAAG is a new addition to the Suffolk University Alumni Association and is geared toward alumni who have graduated within the last 10 years. This group conducts events such as career workshops and professional networking sessions, allowing recent graduates full immersion in the world of young professionals. Suffolk University Alumni Weekend, hosted annually in June, is another great opportunity to stay connected and return to the charming urban campus that became our home away from home. This past year, record-breaking alumni attendance occurred during a weekend of family programming designed to reconnect those celebrating a 5th, 10th, 25th, or 50th reunion. The multi- day celebration culminated with the spectacular outstanding Alumni Awards dinner honoring doreen vigue BSJ’88 with the Achievement Award and dennis Walczewski BS’70 with the Service Award. I am privileged to be president of our beloved Alumni Board and continue the hard work of my predecessors Barbara Boehler BA’93, Jd’04 and Anthony diIeso BA’62. our Board is committed to making a powerful impact on the Suffolk campus and playing a major role in the life of the University. We collaborate with the dean’s office, Admissions, Career Services, and the Alumni office to communicate initiatives and engage the Alumni Association. As an association, we need your participation. If you are looking for a way to volunteer your time, we are seeking your help! My line of communication is open to you; this Board is open to you. We are volunteering our time because we feel very passionate about this University, and we want to be part of shaping this fine institution. I would like to encourage all of you to e-mail your thoughts and suggestions to me. Lori A. Atkins BS’01, JD’04 latkins@suffolk.edu [60] SUFFOLKARTS+SCIENCES//2008/2009 ALUMNI MAGAzINE
