| | Share your CIA friendship memories for Link!
| |
|
To celebrate CIA's landmark 140th year, we're inviting alumni to share memories of the friendships you forged during your years at CIA. After all, it's the community we've built together that's made CIA so special for more than a century.
Perhaps your friendship lasted only while you were in school or perhaps it's remained strong over the years. Or, maybe you eventually married your best friend from CIA. Whatever the case may be, we hope you'll tell us what it meant—or still means—to you.
Select submissions will be published in the fall issue of Link, and others will appear on cia.edu.
To be included, please share your memory using this form by 5pm Sunday, July 23.
If you have photos of you and your friend(s) together—whether at CIA or after graduation—we hope you'll share those, too. They can be uploaded via the same form and might appear in Link.
Don't forget to submit your alumni notes for the next issue of Link to link@cia.edu by July 23.
