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.
