From CityU’s Alumni Director
“We are living in
exponential times.” I came across this quote from the
award-winning presentation, Did You Know? (found
on YouTube), which is based on a slideshow by Littleton,
Colorado high school teacher Karl
Fisch. It uses startling data
to demonstrate the dramatic shift technology has had, and will
continue to have, on our world. Our universe is expanding at
exponential rates. Connecting with others globally is a reality,
thanks to the phenomenal tools at our fingertips. Information
is created, made available, and found with the touch of a button.
Many of you have become experts in maximizing these tools to
your advantage.
As an Alumni Director faced
with the challenge of reaching out to our over 41,000 alumni worldwide,
knowing that we are “living in exponential times” gives
me hope. I believe that we will succeed in creating a truly connected
network of City University of Seattle alumni. I have seen alumni
spread the word about City University academic and alumni programs,
often through word of mouth but also through the use of the Internet.
If you like this monthly communication from CityU, please forward
this e-newsletter to alumni and potential students. Doing so not
only spreads the good news about CityU but also builds on the network
of people with whom you are connected. This, in turn, can lead
to new friendships, further career growth, and greater business
success. However, if you would like to stop receiving this email
correspondence, please click on the link below to opt
out. It can
be found at the bottom of this web page.
We will be adding more features to this e-newsletter in the coming
months, including a Student Spotlight, news about our regional
and worldwide partners, and hopefully even a Classified Ads section.
This is just another way we are working to add value to our programs.
And don’t forget to spread the word about CityU by forwarding
this newsletter to your friends and colleagues!
All the best,
Eileen Ryan-Rojas
Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving
