Your Alumni Association continues to grow by leaps and bounds in terms of our programs, services and membership. For that, we thank each and every one of you.
To the class of ’09, congratulations and welcome to the next phase of your life as a Panther. You’ll find your association is a dynamic organization fueled by your ideas, energy and passion.
There are now 100,000 living UNI alumni! This is a milestone to celebrate at face value. More importantly, we celebrate the lives and contributions to community, families and professions that each of you represent.
As always, there’s a lot going on with your Alumni Association. Just a couple examples:
• The new online career center (see the article on page 18). You asked for career advice and assistance, and we’re delivering the finest online resource you can find to all UNI graduates and current students.
• The Traditions Challenge, which launches this fall, celebrates Panther Traditions, new and old. The program crosses every corner of campus while strengthening the understanding of what it means to be a Panther. This program will ensure Purple for Life is more than just a tagline.
• Take advantage of social and networking opportunities across the country, too. Check out the events a www.unialum.edu. We’re always looking to support alumni. If you would like to host an event in your area, let us know!
Everything that you see from the Alumni Association is thanks to you, our members. Memberships provide all of our funds for socials, reunions, awards and more. The only way we can expand our programs is if more Panthers become members. Our goal is to reach 10,000 members in the next three years—an almost 20-percent increase. We want 25,000 members in the next 10 years. Make sure you ask your peers, neighbors and former classmates to be a part of something special by becoming a member of the UNI Alumni Association.
As always, GO PANTHERS!!
