Dear Friends,
As we enter the new year, we are once again excited by the prospect of what’s yet to come. We take stock of our accomplishments, evaluate our progress, and establish vigorous goals to support our alumni.
After sixteen years of working with Emory’s alumni, I have been blessed to witness our organization strategically grow and evolve year after year. From our humble roots, our Emory Alumni Association staff has doubled in size. We have grown into a supportive team that cultivates strong communication and outstanding alumni career services. By working with our dedicated volunteer leaders, we are proud to integrate your feedback and wish lists into hundreds of programs each year around the world.
I am continually inspired by all of you and your amazing talents, and I am so very proud of what you have built in your association. These past years, it has been my privilege to serve as your association leader. As I move into my new role as vice president and secretary of the university, I will continue to appreciate and respect the multitude of ways in which you give back to our university each and every day. Our alumni will always be near to my heart, and I look forward to working closely with the association in the years to come. Thank you, my friends.
Please join me in welcoming my colleague Sarah Cook 95C to lead you in defining the vibrant future for your Emory Alumni Association. Your association is in excellent hands under Sarah’s leadership.
Happy New Year!
Allison Dykes
Vice President and Secretary of the University
