From the Alumni President...

Jerry Vigna

Happy Holidays! I hope this message finds you enjoying plenty of festivities with friends and family. Campus is quiet now. Students have finally abandoned their carrels in Paley and the lobby in Anderson after some serious pre-finals cramming.

As I write this, your CLA Alumni Association is busy planning events for 2013. Our annual basketball outing is already scheduled for March 2. Keep an eye out for your invitation because our spring events sell out quickly!

Wishing you a very happy new year,
Jerry Vigna, CLA '73
