You’re a Part of a Lifelong Community
The Alumni Advantage
Dear Fellow Alumni,
I’m honored and excited to serve as the incoming President of our Alumni Board Association. As we step into a new academic year, I look forward to working alongside our incredible new board members to introduce fresh initiatives, such as our alumni networking event. We’re also bringing back cherished traditions such as class reunions that continue to strengthen our alumni community.
Over the past few years, our focus has been on growth and expansion. Now, we have the opportunity to turn that progress into action, leveraging our collective momentum to support further and uplift our alma mater. It’s an exciting time, and I’m grateful to be part of this next chapter with all of you.
Best,
Jameliah Blount ’10

A true Mustang family, Susan inspires others to remain connected and is always the first to volunteer for events when asked.
