MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
I am proud and grateful to be provided with
the opportunity to serve our membership
during the next two years. The University of
Windsor is truly a great institution and, as
alumni, we have the ability, through our life
experiences and successes, to be the most
effective advocates for our alma mater.
I had the pleasure recently of
addressing a large group of alumni now
employed as faculty and staff at the
University of Windsor. I asked them to reflect upon the importance of
this University in their lives, to think about the impact that their alma
mater has in the community of Windsor and globally, and to recognize
their important role as ambassadors.
Our graduates, more than 90,000 in number, live, work and
make a difference in 120 countries around the world. They are true
measures of the value and greatness of our University.
All of us have the important ability to foster the continuing growth
and stature of our alma mater through our associations and activities.
My volunteer involvement has been an easy labour of love – allowing
me to give back as a measure of gratitude.
Equally important to me – it provides me with the opportunity to
be an advocate with pride.
I am certain that you share my sentiments and I would invite you
to contact me or our Alumni Office if you have any suggestions or
would like to become more involved in our efforts.
All the best in 2009,
TOM PORTER
