On behalf of the Development and Alumni Engagement office:

Dear MBA Students,

On behalf of the Development and Alumni Engagement office and the entire Sauder alumni community, I would like to extend a warm welcome back to returning students, and a huge welcome to all transfers and first year students! We are happy to have all of you back on campus for the 2012/2013 school year.

To celebrate the beginning of a new academic year, the Development and Alumni Engagement Office and representatives from the Sauder alumni community invite you to join us at the “Alumni Cares Lounge” in the CA Hall on September 5 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please come by and enjoy complimentary refreshments and goodies to energize you for the first week of classes.

We hope you’ll stop by to meet our staff, engage with alumni, and learn more about alumni events and initiatives that will benefit you in the upcoming year!

Whether or not you’re able to join us on September 5, on behalf of our office, the alumni community, and everyone at Sauder, we wish you a great and successful year ahead.

Sincerely,

Teresa Faulkner
