West Side Alumni Connections

The College of Business and Public Administration hosted two successful west-side events in February. On February 19, Dean Fuller met with a west-side Advisory Board to discuss ways the University and College could become more visible in the greater Seattle area. The meeting was attended by seven business leaders and alums. The group decided to form the Board and identifies an annual meting schedule. In addition, they would like to consider fund-raising projects such as golf-outings to support the College. This meeting was immediately followed by a reception in the Hilton Hotel. All told about 20 people attended the event and feedback to date has been very encouraging. One member of the Board of Trustees, Neil Mc Reynolds, also attended the reception. It was truly a great day to be an eagle in Seattle!
