October Alumni E-Newsletter

September has come and gone, and while Homecoming made it a month to remember, October is here and people are starting to settle into their new routines. This month has arrived with a slight chill in the air, and shorter days looming on the horizon.  And even if the first fruits of winter are saddening to some, there are some great reasons to be excited this season.  For example, in addition to the monthly chapter meetings, this month brings us events like a Kent/Sussex Chapter meet-up at Grottos in Dover, the annual Making Strides against Breast Cancer 5K Run/Walk, and let’s not forget about one of the University’s biggest events, the Green and White Scholarship Ball!  So make sure you plan to get out, get together, and get involved!

Be sure to add us to your contact list so you'll never miss a mailing. Please continue to read below to see what is going on in your Alumni Association!
