June 28, 2008: UWF African-American Alumni Reunion

Greetings Alumni,

For those who attended this year’s African American Alumni Reunion, thank you!  Because of you we had a bigger turn out than our inaugural year.  We had over thirty graduates in attendance that spanned from the 1970’s to 2008.  Attached are a few pictures from the Cookout and the Reception.  This event was timeless in that UWF Graduates have gone on to become college Department Heads, Entrepreneurs, Professional Writers, Politicians,  Bank Executives, Military Officers, School Teachers, University and Hospital Administrators, as well as current graduate students.  There were at least five former Black Student Union Presidents in attendance as well.  If you missed this event, you missed quality networking, fellowship and good food.  Attached is a collage, produced by the College Reach-Out Program that depicts some of the good times from this year’s event.  Please mark your calendar for next year’s reunion.  We anticipate an even larger turnout.  If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. 

I would also like to say Thank You to all those involved in planning and carrying out the reunion activities. Without you, this event would not have been the success that it was! To view a PowerPoint collage of the event, please click the link below.
