Your response to our requests for Class Notes has been so overwhelming that, instead of the usual feature stories, for this issue only we've featured you: your awards, milestones and achievements. Also this issue we've added a new permanent department, Alumni Association News, and included the list of 1986 University Circle members. Now is the time to make plans to COME HOME TO EASTERN MICHIGAN for Home­ coming '87, Oct. 16-17. Read about the events scheduled for the weekend and get your reser­ vations in early! See you there, Pat Moran Associate Director for Alumni Relations Pat Moran This issue of &stern Today will be my last as president of your Alumni Association. As I review the activities of the Association over the past year, I am pleased to report that the last 12 months have been busy and productive ones in terms of accomplishing the goals of the Association and setting new goals for the future. A major goal of the Association is to determine the needs of EMU alumni. We took signifi­ cant steps to pinpoint those needs at our Alumni Association planning meeting, which was held in Windsor, Ontario, Feb. 21-22. This meeting was attended by 100 alumni and friends and included input from EMU staff and student organizations. At this meeting, we determined 10 priorities for the Association to focus on and I'd like to highlight the top three-those that will be of primary concern in 1987-88. The first priority is the need for the Association to create more self-funding opportunities. In August, we will be making available a special credit card program to EMU alumni that we believe will provide more services and benefits to you than ever before. More about this new service can be found in the Alumni Association News section of this issue. Our second priority is working to provide additional services and opportunities for our alumni that they might not already have, including initiating a membership/dues program that will provide additional services and benefits to alumni who make contributions to the University or the Association. Among these benefits will be reduced rates at the University's new golf course located adjacent to the Corporate Education Center, as well as other benefits currently Mike 8011!11s in the works. Another priority is Homecoming-a focal point for alumni. The Alumni Association will be taking a more active role in planning Homecoming activities that will bring more alumni back to campus for this annual event. But we need your participation and input to ensure more successful Homecomings each year.

Civic Literacy is the knowledge of how to actively participate and initiate change in your community and the greater society. It is the foundation by which a democratic society functions: Citizen Power as a check and as a means to create avenues for peaceful change. Why an Agenda? · Civic participation not only encompasses voting in elections but also a consciousness about the issues that are most important to an individual and his or her community. Creating an agenda is an avenue to gather support and raise awareness for both community members and elected officials about what’s happening in the community.

The Center examines the important role of voluntary associations, communities, businesses and families, as well as government. All People. Mackinac Center research recognizes the diversity of Michigan residents and treats them as individuals with unique backgrounds, circumstances and goals. All Disciplines.
