Here Susan Stewart and other committee members encourage seem to be jumping for joy as they begin careers in donut consumption, the real world. The Alumni Association is one of the university's most valuable assets.The Association works to promote the interests of the university and to establish and sustain a mutually beneficial relationship between the university and its alumni. The Alumni Relations Office helps parents, students and alumni stay informed. It keeps everyone interested and involved through programs, services and publications. Serving as a link between former, current and future students, the Association sponsors many programs such as exam week Survival Kits, Outstanding Scholar awards, Student Athlete awards to graduating seniors, the alumni career advising network, scholarships for entering freshmen, and class reunions. Once the football program is in place, the Association plans to play a major role in Homecoming, an event which will involve the entire university community. Thirty-five members make up the governing board. It was founded in 1933 and is still made up of dedicated alumni who are directly involved in Old Dominion. One must be nominated to run for office and elected by the Board of Directors. The Board has legislative interests, one of which includes lobbying government officials in Richmond for state money to be allotted to our school. In an interview with the Alumni Director. Gordon McDougall, it was evident that a group as active as the Alumni Association has influence in the University. They are aware that in protecting and improving the University, both present students and alumni benefit. As students grow and change it is exciting to see the University do the same. Energy and enthusiasm generated by the Alumni is motivating; the Alumni contribute time, money and talent because they know it is a worthy investment as ODU flourishes. by Heidi Shiner All photos courtesy ot Bob Fire k 24 STUDENT LIFE
