A Note from Graham Stewart '81, M.S. '01, Director of Alumni Relations

Dear Alumni, In this new monthly e-newsletter we highlight the many ways alumni can keep connected to Ithaca College. Besides the numerous events our clubs are hosting around the country, we invite you to join the more than 4,500 alumni who have registered for our on line community. Find classmates and e-mail them, post photos, update us on new developments in your life, or search for a new job. It's easy and fun. And if you find yourself especially nostalgic for campus days, why not listen to WICB or VIC radio while you work. They now feature streaming audio right to your desktop! Miss the news of campus? The Ithacan is online and features several stories that never make it to print. Bookmark the site and visit often. Technology is indeed making it easier than ever to keep connected to Ithaca College. Enjoy this issue and let us know what you like and what you'd like to see. Sincerely,

Graham Stewart '81, M.S. '01
Director of Alumni Relations
