I hope that this letter finds you all having had a Happy Holiday season.

The mission of the Plymouth State University Alumni Association is to coordinate events, activities and initiatives that keep alumni and their University connected; to foster and support communication between every group within the PSUAA and its Board; and to be proactive in providing choices and guidance for alumni and PSUAA activities.

We have been engaged in many activities on your behalf, the biggest of which is implementing a new action plan and planning document to guide the PSUAA through 2007. The purpose of this plan is to bridge what was completed previously with many new initiatives, including implementation of the new alumni travel program, negotiating with new affinity marketing partners, and expanding alumni chapter and PSU On the Road events. The 16 elected officers of the PSUAA have worked very hard to fulfill these objectives. However they can only do so much without the help of volunteers from the alumni at large, and the wonderful staff in the Office of Alumni Relations. We want to work with you as partners to continue offering the events our alumni desire.

I encourage all Plymouth alumni to re-engage with your alma mater through the Alumni Association. Please visit the new alumni Web site at www.alumni.plymouth.edu, and should you be interested in getting involved, please contact us at 1-800-772-2620 or alumni@plymouth.edu.

We continue to make amazing strides as an alumni association, and I am very proud to continue representing all of you as your president. If you have any questions about the PSU Alumni Association, or Plymouth State University in general, please do not hesitate to contact me at eschwarz91@alumni.plymouth.edu.

Ut Prosim

Eric C. Schwarz ’91
President, PSUAA
