Alumni Council Letter

Alumni Association

Greetings, fellow alumni, parents, friends, and (of course) students of LA, Happy Back-To-School! I am writing to introduce myself as your new Alumni Council president, but I want to first thank our former master and commander for the last two years, Rick Tyson ’87. The man is a true class act, and we were lucky to have him lead us. Moving forward, I’d like to be considered not so much as the “ president, ” but more as the “ captain ” of this team called the Alumni Council. Being an effective team player was one of the most useful skills I gained while at LA. I learned this while navigating life in the dorms, working on group projects in the classroom, and, of course, competing on the playing fields. Currently, we on the AC are a group of 16 team members who are extremely passionate about LA. Together, we are wholeheartedly committed to supporting the experience LA provides to current students, as well as fostering a connection and sense of community beyond the borders of campus. The AC team plans to provide you with a multitude of fun opportunities to help achieve these goals. Check out one of our career nights—yes, you could be a mentor to a current LA student. Attend an LA gathering in your area—last year we were in NYC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, and DC. Get some buddies together and come play in the 20th annual Gagné Winterim Golf Classic. General Rule of Thumb: The more the merrier! If you have an idea for something you ’d like to see us do, we want to hear about it! We are always looking to grow our team—if you want to get in on the action, don ’ t be shy! Raise your hand up high, roll up your sleeves, and get in the game!

Looking forward to great year!

GAME ON!
