📣 Alumni Association Buzz! 📣

I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz around town lately that many people are interested in attending an Alumni Association meeting 👀

That being said, this feels like the perfect time of year for an anniversary revival since our last session of engagement. It’s exciting to think about what we could accomplish by coming together again!

If you’re interested in being part of this, please leave a comment below ⬇️

Important note: This year will require some serious commitment. We’re suggesting at least a one-year term for those involved so we can truly make the most out of this year and build something meaningful together.

Looking forward to seeing who’s interested! 🙌
