Laurie, Glad to hear how much you use Alumni throughout every department in your school. Alumni are passionate and students relate to them. Alumni can fill in and assist staff in so many ways. The result is you get professional assistance without increasing your payroll. Keep in mind all the people Alumni can introduce you to - employers, organizations, potential clinic and externship sites, speakers, curriculum experts, and much more. The Friends and Family events sound brilliant. You are doing a great job. Reminder to measure, measure, measure. Thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
