Dear Fellow Alumni,

At TC, fall is all about new beginnings. A new academic year brings new students, new classes and a fresh slate of plans for the year ahead. This year your Alumni Association’s Council is gearing up to celebrate 125 years of Teachers College and hoping this milestone will further connect you to the TC community. We hope you reflect upon your time at TC with nostalgia and that you will share your fondest memories with us. Join us at one of the many events scheduled for the coming months to continue the learning process you began as a TC student and to expand your network of like-minded peers.

I also invite you to join us in shaping the programming for this milestone year and future years. You can participate by applying to join the Alumni Council or by volunteering to serve as an Affiliate Member. If you are interested in learning more about either of these roles, visit www.tc.edu/alumni or contact the Office of Alumni Relations at tcalumni@tc.edu or 212-678-3215.

Stay tuned as we roll out an exciting lineup of events that will extend across the country. Academic Festival 2013 – on April 13 – will of course be the marquee celebration for alumni and the greater TC community. So mark your calendars to be back on campus for Festival, when the Alumni Association will also honor our Distinguished Alumni as part of the festivities.

We will be asking you – the Alumni Association – to play a large role in the coming year’s events because, after all, you are such a large part of what makes Teachers College great. We hope that throughout 2013, you will connect virtually by sharing your stories and memories from TC either online or via social media. We also hope to launch a yearlong service project, for which we will track all of your volunteer efforts on the alumni website to showcase TC’s impact in communities across the globe.

Please send any suggestions you have to Rosella Garcia, Director of Alumni Relations, at garcia@tc.edu.

Thanks for all of your contributions.  I look forward to connecting with you at one of our events this year.

Sincerely,

Adam Vane,
President, Teachers College Alumni Association
