The University continues to evolve along with the composition of our alumni, who represent a diverse array of backgrounds, academic interests, and life stages. Your Alumni Association Council has been hard at work these past few months, creating new strategic priorities and examining our structure and mission to ensure that we represent you, the alumni, to the best of our abilities. I'm proud to report that our 27 members represent a cross-section of alumni – traditional undergraduate students from the Class of '70 to the Class of '15, women from our One Day A Week Saturday program and The American Women's College, graduate women and, yes, even graduate men! One of our goals in the coming months is to increase the effective- ness of the Council and our visibility to the entire alumni community. To learn more about your Council members and our current projects, please visit our website at www.baypath.edu/alumni. Most importantly, we want to hear from you! No matter where your path has taken you since graduation, you are a valued member of the Bay Path community. Keep in touch, share class notes, connect on Facebook, and send any updates to alumni@bay- path.edu. As you reconnect, I ask you to consider the Power of One – one classmate or faculty member who impacted you, or one experience that helped shape you. Now, it is your turn to make an impact on a current student. Every gift is powerful. Help us realize the Power of One by visiting baypath.edu/powerofone to make your gift today. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your Alumni Association Council President!
