Dalhousie Honours the Link with Recent Graduates

Congratulations go out to both our friend Chris Crowell, the Founder of East Coast Connected and Dalhousie University. First to Chris for establishing East Coast Connected. We hope to collaborate with them in 2009!

Next to Dal for this award aimed at honouring their connection to their most recent graduates.

If you are aware of a similar award at the Mount then will you please post about here or leave comments below or share some weblinks so that we can report on it.

Also, I wonder ... how can we do a much better job of connecting with recent graduates who are coming to Toronto? Is there a way that the Mount Alumnae Office can help us connect with these folks?

Can we as a local association do more to bring value to incoming alum who get in touch?

Maybe someone can find sponsors willing to donate "Welcome Packages" or if you are going to a business networking event, you could offer to take an incoming grad along with you?
