As I thought about writing this message to Golden Ram alumni, it occurred to me this is the last one I will be writing.  This, you see, is my last year as President of your Alumni Association.  I have enjoyed serving on the Board for these last six years and as President for the last two.
    These two years have seen us navigate through the global pandemic and weather the storm of almost no live opportunities to see each other face to face.  I remain hopeful that by summer we will have put the pandemic behind us and opportunities for more in person events will be offered.
    I have enjoyed the opportunity to get to know many leaders of the University and I would like to thank President Chris Fiorentino and Sue Fiorentino for their steadfast support of our Association and for our initiatives.  Our University is in very capable hands now and for the future.  I have enjoyed representing our Association at various events and at Commencements to see the excited faces of new alumni and their families.
    Finally, please enjoy this beautiful season and take some time to visit our picturesque campus!  I hope I will be able to meet more of you at upcoming Alumni Association events.  I urge you to please consider engaging with our Association.  Take a moment to review the Alumni Association Board of Directors ballot and to cast your vote for your representatives. Register on Ram Nation!  In the meanwhile, be well and Rams Up!
