The School has about 2,500 alumni, and they represent one of our most important constituencies. Our graduates are our most valuable means to recruit new students. We want to stay in touch with our alumni, and the principal way we do that is through the Newsletter, published each fall and spring. In addition, many alumni are reached by phone each fall in the annual phonathon. There is an alumni association, and each issue of the Newsletter tells how to pay the modest annual membership fee. We encourage alumni to report their activities to the School so that we can include them in the alumni activities section of the Newsletter. Information for the Newsletter should be sent to the editor, Dennis Carrigan, at: carrigan@uky.edu
