Meta. blogging. It’s rarely done here, I am perfectly aware. I have been adept at developing relationships with an assortment of incredibly talented individuals to tell the stories of Graduates of the Last Decade. Through EMU Love Stories, GOLD Professional Profiles, and a variety of other carefully crafted solicitations, alumni have offered their post-EMU experiences. Here, in this post, I offer my own thoughts for EMU’s alumni (for 5/27/11):
1) Diversity is absolutely, positively, without a doubt – no joke. We are the strangest group of alumni of any college or university. Why? It boils down to… difference. We are all different. Race, ethnicity, religion, experience, rich, poor, first-generation, gay, straight, bisexual, transgender, Huron, Normalite, Eagle – we are here and we are relevant.
2) We, as alumni, are available on social media… so connect with your peers, the Office for Alumni Relations, and EMU. You can do so on our Facebook page, our Twitter account, or on LinkedIn. (P.S. Follow me on Twitter at Dan_EMUAlumni).
3) It’s Homecoming on October 22, 2011… and we expect you, yes, YOU, to be in our tent on the front lawn of Rynearson Stadium cheering on the Eagles.
That’s all for now… I will try to re-visit and share a couple of thoughts.. or two… in the future.
Thanks,
Dan
