Notice to Alumni Association Members:

Thanks to everyone who attended our AGM at Campus Fair in June. It was great to see you there and to hear your enthusiasm and interest!

Please note that on August 25, 2008 at 12:30 p.m., the Alumni Association will hold a special meeting to present a motion to dissolve the Association as a society. This is based on an inability to meet the Societies Act financial reporting requirement to have financial statements separate from the University of Calgary's, and follows up on a motion passed by the Board some years ago but not implemented. The Alumni Association will continue to operate as it has in partnership with the University of Calgary, just not as a society.

Click here for information on the motion and the meeting. All Alumni Association members are welcome to attend. Please call 403-220-4942 to RSVP if you are able to attend, and to get location details.

If you have any questions, please call me at 403-220-8635 after August 18, when I return to the office.

Executive Director, Alumni Association

Seeing the big picture of sustainability After working with the newly established University of Calgary Office of Sustainability, Anna Nowaczyk, B’Comm’07, has become a bit of a torchbearer for sustainability stewardship. All you have to do is pick up a newspaper to see the complex challenges that today’s societies are faced with. It’s pretty scary stuff that can leave you feeling helpless,” she says.

Arch Awards artist inspired by nature When Kirk Dunkley, BFA’08, was commissioned to create this year’s new Arch Awards, he drew his inspiration from the simple geometric forms that are found everywhere in nature. The result are unique and haunting sculptures crafted from hundred of layers of acrylic.
