Message from the Dean: The Power of Alumni
Dean Cheryl Achterberg

Greetings alumni and friends,

I value alumni. That's because you are ambassadors to the world for your alma mater. You are also a powerful influence when you bring your experience back to share with us.

When you attend events and activities with us, you are a positive force in the college. Students, faculty, and staff gain from your ideas, your energy, and your enjoyment.

From September 5-7, 2008, we hope you will bring your energy and enjoyment to the Ohio State Reunion Weekend. This will be my first big alumni event with you, and I look forward to meeting you.
