CANCELLED - Fall Dinner 2020
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the university's plans to be a "virtual campus" for the Fall term, the Fall Dinner has been cancelled. We are hopeful that we can resume normal on campus events in the Spring term. Please mark your calendar for the Spring Brunch, May 2, 2021 at the Harper Alumni Center. If we are able to hold events on campus in the Spring, we will provide details about brunch registration in future e-newsletters.
CANCELLED - Spring Brunch 2020
Due to the COVID-19 virus issue, President Nelsen has asked that all non-curricular meetings and events be cancelled through the end of Spring 2020. We are sorry that we will miss seeing you at the Spring 2020 Retirees Association Brunch, but know we are still here and will look forward to seeing you in the Fall at our annual dinner. Please keep an eye on this site and the Retirees Association Newsletter for information about our continued activities.
Message from President Robert Nelsen
