Hello alumni and friends. How is everyone doing with their New Years resolutions? It’s hard to believe we are in the second month of 2021, yet here we are. I hope your year has started off well and you have been able to enjoy the great outdoors and/or do whatever makes your heart happy. Here in the Willamette Valley we are starting to see some signs of spring popping up like daffodils and buds on trees. It’s the promise of new life coming soon and changes on the horizon, my favorite things of all.
January was a month full of planning and prepping for the new year. We enjoyed a great After Hours event on the 12th that featured alumni board member Griffin Bates ’00 sharing tips and tricks to make and keep New Year’s resolutions and goal setting. It’s been great having people from all over the US and beyond join us for our After Hours events. We hope you will join us this month on the 9th.
On the 16th the WOU Alumni Board of Directors met virtually via Zoom for their winter meeting. They enjoyed hearing updates and having a conversation with WOU Foundation Executive Director, Erin McDonough. The next board meeting will be on April 10. If you are interested in learning more about the WOU Alumni Board, contact Emily at 503-838-8710.
There are two great virtual events coming up this month. We have a new Wolves Teaching Wolves class and a fun After Hours event that will include sharing your WOU love stories. Check them out in the newsletter and I hope you tune in.
