All of them enthusiastically accepted the invitation. Once we received the articles, we edited them and designed the format of the Survival Guide . We both wrote a few articles for the guide as well. We published the guide in-house and initially handed it out to seniors at commencement rehearsal. After the first year, however, we began distributing the guide to seniors in their campus mailboxes during the first two weeks of May though we continued to highlight the guide at commencement rehearsal as well so that we would reach any seniors we d inadvertently missed.
Alums are the primary contributors to the booklet.
It wasn t difficult to secure their support and involvement. Everyone who participated believed in the value of the guide and was more than willing to help. We owe the success of the Survival Guide to our participating alums. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Members of these groups said they thought so highly of the guide that they shared its contents with colleagues at work and elsewhere.
