Alumni Update January 2019
| |
|
Dear Alumni and Friends: Students have recently returned to a wintry Oxford campus after the holiday break and our month-long Winter Term. With the spring semester now underway, there's that familiar palpable excitement in the air, especially for graduating seniors who are now wistfully marking their final weeks at Miami. A special thank you to those of you who responded to our CAS Alumni Survey. We received a wealth of qualitative information, including suggestions, reminisces, and advice that will all prove extremely useful as we continue working to step up our alumni-student engagement opportunities at both the CAS and department level. In the coming months, many of you should expect to be contacted by faculty chairs who are planning in-class lectures, panels, and other events. As always, we welcome alumni involvement as our students embark on career paths in an uncertain global economy, whether it be in terms of direct guidance and mentorship, internship opportunities, financial donations, or simply networking. Joining Miami Alumni Connect -- where you can engage in conversations with thousands of other Miami alumni about college, careers, living in a new city, and more -- is a great way to get started. Be sure to scroll down for the latest news on CAS students, alumni, and faculty.
