Homecoming Game Brings Alumni Together

D

espite	CU’s	24-27	loss	to	Texas	Tech,	alumni	who	attended	the	 game	and	meet-and-greet	hosted	by	the	school’s	newly	formed	 Alumni	Association,	had	a	fun	time	Oct.	23	at	Folsom	Field. “Good	food.	Good	company.	Can’t	ask	for	more,”	says	David		 Valdez	(BS	’00)	who	traveled	from	La	Jara,	Colo.	with	his	 father	and	fellow	SOP	alumnus,	Joe	(BS	’76).	

A	total	of	47	attendees	(26	SOP	graduates	and	their	guests)	checked	in	at		 the	alumni	area	prior	to	the	game	for	a	quick	meal,	a	couple	of	cold	beverages,	 entertainment,	and	the	opportunity	to	mingle	with	fellow	alums	of	the	school.	 “The	day	started	out	a	little	drizzly,	but	soon	the	clouds	parted	and	the	sun	 came	out.	It	turned	out	to	be	perfect	weather	for	a	football	game,”	says	faculty	 member	and	SOP	alumna	Sarah	Anderson	(PharmD	’07).	The	Alumni	Association	arranged	a	set	of	block	seats	for	the	game,	and	covered	the	cost	of	the	food	 and	drink	prior	to	the	event.	Marketed	through	e-mail	and	the	school’s	e-newsletter,	both	season	ticket	and	block	ticket	holders	were	encouraged	to	attend. “Expect	more	of	these	types	of	events	where	alumni	and	students	can	mingle	 and	get	to	know	each	other,”	says	board	President	Carl	Pansini	(BS	’80).		 “The	association	just	got	up	and	running	at	the	end	of	last	year,	so	we’ve		 been	consumed	with	putting	our	house	in	order.”	 So	far,	the	association	has	convened	a	board,	established	by-laws,	created	and	 printed	a	survival	kit/messenger	bag	for	first	year	PharmD	and	PhD	students,	 and	hosted	the	Oct.	23	football	game.
