As of April 2006, 95 alumni ranging from the classes of 1946 to 2004 in 24 states have volunteered to be part of the AOCN (see list of members). Special thanks to Dimitri Michaud '03 and LeAndrew Rankin '03, who took the initiative to work with the Alumni Office to get the network off the ground in 2004. Many of you have volunteered to mentor current students or young alumni, to come to campus to speak, or to talk about your Colby experiences and about your careers, and we plan to take you up on your offers as soon as possible. With occasional newsletters we plan to keep you apprised of what is happening as the network evolves. We are looking for constructive feedback from you, for ideas, suggestions, and reassurance that we are headed in the right direction to make the network effective for those involved. We have several projects already in the works. Some of them will involve everyone. For other projects we plan to contact network members individually to see if you will be available to participate as a speaker or help with particular events. If you don't hear from us soon, don't despair—we may need to move slowly as the network grows these first few years, but we will get back to you. |
