There is so much going on in the UVSC Alumni right now that I could write all day! Yesterday I voted on the new logos and trademarks for UVU. We are in the middle of producing the January issue of Sequel while planning the April issue, which is going to be about the transition from UVSC to UVU. Homecoming is just four weeks away, and we are throwing a huge tailgate/reunion party. And, on top of all of that, our online community is being updated and will go live tomorrow.
I’m excited about the updates on the website. The new program has a lot more flexibility and versatility than the old site had. I’ve added some features, like Wolverine Tales, and have changed a few of the old features. We’ve also linked the alumni websites together to make navigation easier. The most frustrating thing about the new website is that it has so much potential and I have so little time to work on it! I’m just hoping that people will keep coming back as it develops because it will get better and better.
I’ve had the greatest conversation today with one of our alumni who contacted me about getting involved somehow. Jacob Sommer graduated from UVSC in 2003 and went on to law school. He settled in the Fallon, NV area and opened his own practice. He asked me what he could do to support the association and I asked him to write class note and read the blog. He did exactly as I asked and in the process we’ve had a great running conversation about the practice of law and what he’s doing now. I just love this part of my job. There is nothing better than meeting other UVSC alumni and sharing their experiences.
