To the Editor:

As president of our Alumni Association — and on behalf of 120,000 Vanderbilt alumni — it is my pleasure to officially congratulate you, the Class of 2007, on your graduation and welcome you into the Alumni Association.

All members of the Alumni Association share a strong common bond: the Vanderbilt experience. Your education, experiences and friendships are the foundation of your lifelong connection with Vanderbilt. As you graduate, I encourage you to look back upon the memories of this wonderful place, but to look forward as well. You’ll be pleased at how the exceptional and generous network of Vanderbilt alumni can support you, as you begin life beyond the gates of our university.

Anywhere you go, there will be an opportunity to connect to the Vanderbilt network.

Enjoy taking part in this uniquely accomplished community. You have earned it!

The Alumni Association can help you maintain these valuable connections, serving as a resource in a new city, network for your career or way to connect with classmates.

Continue the connection by updating your e-mail at www.Dore2Dore.net, by visiting www.vanderbilt.edu/alumni for information on events and by volunteering your most valuable asset: your time.

The Alumni Association is here to help you continue your connection with Vanderbilt and other alumni. Keep in touch, and we’ll keep you connected.

Congratulations Class of 2007 and welcome! We’re proud to have you!

Karen Thomas Fesmire, A&S ’80
