A note from the president:

Welcome to the Alumni Association’s website. It is a pleasure to provide this service to you in the form of an up-to-date 21^st century technology. I hope this site will allow you to communicate with your Alumni Association more effectively and conveniently.  We are working to update the site each week, so be sure to visit often for information about important events, new alumni and student services, and updates about your Alumni Association, alma mater, and classmates. Let us know what you think.  We look forward to your suggestions!

The endowment plan: 

The board of directors has voted to launch a campaign to endow the Association. Why? "To do more with less." What does this mean? It means we can do MORE for our alumni, our medical students, and our School of Medicine with LESS (fewer) appeals for annual membership and reduce dues by 50%.

We invite you to participate in our efforts to make this $5 million Alumni Association Endowment possible by becoming a Perpetual Member. New Perpetual Memberships and donations--cash, stock, trusts, etc.--will complete the endowment. A goal has been set to obtain 2,400 Perpetual Members.

As of May 20, 2009, Perpetual Members currently number 1,648, with 1,374 Silver members; 217 Gold; 35 Platinum; 18 Diamond; 2 Double Diamond; and 2 Triple Diamond. Together, these memberships make up 95% of the $3.6 million in hand toward the $5 million goal.

Together, we will "do more with less."
