Greetings to all our alumni that graduated from the PACE program! We here in the Alumni Office are always excited to hear from you and what you have been doing since you finished your degree. More importantly, we are looking for someone who would like to volunteer to write for this class newsletter.
The whole purpose of the class newsletter is to give our alumni an opportunity to network with one another, no matter where you live or where you work while still keeping in contact with Friends. The duties are minimal and the benefits are well worth the time invested into writing the class newsletter. If you are interested or would like more information before making the commitment, please send an email to alumni@friends.edu. Many thanks to the following alumni that wrote in with recent updates:
Interested in volunteering to write for this class newsletter? Please contact the Alumni Office. You are invited to the inauguration of President Dr. T.J. Arant.
