The theme during the spring 2000 will be Ethnic Conflict, Human Rights, and Foreign Policy. The Center also works closely with college offices to promote stuents' leadership and citizenship skills in the cocurricular life of the College. Together with the Student Government Organization and the Office of the Dean of the College, the Center sponsors a Student Leadership Conference at the beginning of the fall semester. Alumnae Association Founded by alumnae in 1872, the Alumnae Association becomes a part of a student's life as soon as she arrives on campus, when the organization presents her with a mug and an Alumnae Quarterly. This relationship continues with other special programs during the student's four years on campus.
Sophomores receive a class key chain.
Juniors get a memo board for their residence hall doors, and free pizza goes to the cast and crew of Junior Show. Students also participate in the two reunion weekends that are the association's biggest events of the year. The Alumnae Association office depends heavily on student workers and would have a difficult time organizing and implementing the program without their dedication and hard work. Students are also given the opportunity to serve on the association's program and Alumnae Quarterly committees. Over eight thousand alumnae, many of whom belong to one of the more than one hundred alumnae clubs in this country and abroad, support the College as volunteers for classes, clubs, admission efforts, public relations, educational programs, fund-raising, and alumnae networks.
