You are invited to apply for consideration as a nominee for the Distinguished Alumni honor. Please send qualifications to Eric Rothschild, Secretary, ericap5@optonline.net.
Also, we ask you to nominate other alumni who have achieved special recognition in their field, living or deceased. This will be an ongoing search throughout the years.
In addition to the project being of interest to alumni and the public, students will be able to access information on persons to seek as mentors or employers in their chosen fields. |
