Dear ##First Name##,

I’m delighted that summer has arrived in Philadelphia and I hope that you are all getting a chance to enjoy a little sunshine wherever you are in the world!

This will be my last newsletter as chair of the Dance Department as I have decided to step down after five exciting years in the hot seat to spend some time focusing on my teaching and research. I look forward to handing over this important role to Dr. Sally Ann Ness when she arrives in August.

As part of my handover, I will share with Dr. Ness our commitment to alumni engagement. I first developed our Temple Dance Alumni Working Group because I realized that our past students are the mark of our success. We have graduates working all over the world in areas of dance, arts and culture, both big and small. We care about what our alumni are doing and want to continue a relationship with them so that we are in step with the dance world and can seek advice on how we shape and develop our currents students so that they are prepared for the future.

With this in mind, I am delighted to tell you about our Alumni Dance Concert on Friday, September 30, and Saturday, October 1. On the latter date, we invite you to join us for an alumni reception at 5.30 p.m. where we hope that students, faculty and staff, both recent and former, can come together to share memories and plans for the future. You can register for the alumni reception here.

If you would like to know more about this event or the Dance Alumni Working Group, please contact me at sherril.dodds@temple.edu. For further information about the Dance Department, please go to our website.

Warm wishes,

Sherril Dodds
Chair and Professor of the Dance Department
