Alumni info?

Many faculty and staff routinely talk to, write, receive e-mail, etc., from former students whom they had in their classes, advised, whatever. Sometimes you meet casually, some times at a conference. If you come in contact with alumni and come across news about a job change, new address, etc., please forward the information to Lynne Conradt, college advancement, 3rd Floor, Allen Building, x5128, so that the alumni database can continue to be updated.
