• May I JUlie 1994 SIXTY-FIVE ALUMNI AND THEIR GUESTS attended "Insights: Education for Connecticut College

Volunteer Leaders" on April 29-30.

"The program, which has evolved from the former

Alumni Council, provides a formal opportunity for the college and the Alumni Association to recognize the many contributions of its volunteers," said Kristin

S. Lambert '69, executive director of the alumni asso- ciation. "It also provides ongoing training and support for our volunteer corps as well as a chance to see the campus in action."

Invitees included all alumni who volunteer for

Connecticut College. In addition to attending training workshops led by advancement staff members, alumni also dined with President Claire Gaudiani '66, met with senior administrators over breakfast, attended fac-

ulty seminars and a student panel discussion and

toured the campus as well. Many were present for the

dedication of the Winslow Ames House, home to the

College's new Center for Arts & Technology, and a

performance of Pippen by the student Musical Theater

Group.

"Volunteers make a difference, especially at

Connecticut College, which has undergone so much

change," Alumni Trustee Warren Erickson '74 told

those assembled at the volunteer recognition lunch on

Saturday. "We as volunteers have a significant impact

on the excellence of the student body, whether it's in

tangible or intangible ways. The college needs us to

keep doing what we're doing plus more. We also need

to encourage others to volunteer for the institution."
