Homecoming 2007: Still in the blue!
The Alumni Society held its first-ever Homecoming post-game bash at the new Alumni House located at 220 Prince Drew. Alumni enjoyed live music, great food and beverages, and proudly displayed their CNU Spirit. The theme of Homecoming was “Is the BLUE still is YOU?” and the answer from Alumni was a roaring “YES!”
Program connects
students, Alumni
Once again this fall, the Career Connections program addressed topics relevant to students such as graduate school preparation, insurance, resume writing and interview skills. Workshops will also take place in the spring. Each session includes a panel presentation, question and answer session, door-prize drawings and refreshments for all students in attendance.
Annual Meeting scheduled in May
The Alumni Society invites everyone to the Annual Meeting and Awards banquet on May 17. Expect an e-mail invitation to arrive in the spring. If you have questions about membership or any events, or would like to have a brochure mailed to your home, please contact Ashley Boyd, director of Alumni Development, at ashley.boyd@cnu.edu.
Help out in your area
The Alumni Society is seeking volunteers to help us expand into chapters across Virginia. Racheal Harrell, 2004 graduate, is leading the Richmond chapter, and we are looking for volunteers for Northern Virginia and South Hampton Roads chapters. We plan to see each of you at events around the Commonwealth throughout the year.
Annual 5K is a success
Thank you to all participants, volunteers, sponsors and spectators for making the CNU Alumni Society/Oyster Pointer 5K a success on Sept. 16! With the addition of the one-miler, the walk, and our new partnership with the LifeLong Learning Society – CNU’s organization for people of retirement age – we could not have asked for a more successful event.
