Please take a moment to respond to the questions below and on the back to let your classmates in on what you've been doing recently or hope to be doing eventually. Have you moved ? Changed careers? Traveled ? Read a great book? This new questionnaire will be in each issue of the magazine, allowing alumni to contact their class correspondent four times a year. The past system for collecting news, sending separate letters once a year, was unwieldy and time consuming for the small staff in the Alumni Relations Office and the postage was expensive. Now we look forward to hearing from you more than once a year! Please mail or e-mail your news directly to your class correspondent. The correspondents' addresses are listed within the Alumni at Large section of the magazine. Keep the news coming!
