College of Liberal Arts Alumni Association

From the Alumni President...

The fall semester is upon us and the College of Liberal Arts is full of activity. The Class of 2018 is keeping the elevators in Anderson Hall very busy and our professors and professional staff even busier.

The CLA Alumni Association has been pretty busy too, wrapping up a summer-long school supply drive and finishing up plans for October's homecoming game. I look forward to meeting many of you at the tailgate on October 11! Please stop by, say hello and pick up your CLA goodies before the game.

If you are interested in joining the board of the CLA Alumni Association, please drop me a line. We are always eager for new perspectives on any number of the board's committees.

Cherry On!
Dawn Ramos, CLA ’07, ’14
