Dear Alum,

You should by now have received a letter by mail inviting you to join us at UCR's Homecoming Celebration on February 23, 2008. However, we want to cover our bases because our alumni are important to us (mail can get lost, as we all know), so if you have not received your mail invitation as yet, please accept this newsletter as my personal invitation for you to join us in the festivities.

We expect homecoming to be a very special time on Campus. We here at AGSM have assembled a great homecoming program combining the best of an academic program and faculty with the practical insights of an experienced and successful business leader. Homecoming will also be a great opportunity to network and renew acquaintances.  In addition, you will have the opportunity to learn about the many changes at AGSM and the progress we have made as a School. 

We have made it easy for you to register for homecoming. Click here to RSVP. Please also feel free to peruse and get acquainted with our AGSM Web site.

I am very excited about the opportunity to meet you at homecoming and to learn about your successes. I look forward to seeing you here!

 dave



Sincerely,
