On 13 February 2009, over 100 colleagues, associates, friends, and family members young and old came together in the new offices of the Department of History in Heller Hall to express their appreciation and best wishes at a farewell banquet for Suzanne Haskins.

Social media is everywhere. Many of you are probably already using it to keep in touch with friends and family, to share opinions, links, photos, and videos. Of course, some of you may also be using it for professional networking and job searches. The College of Liberal Arts has recently launched a LinkedIn site for current students and alumni to connect professionally.

This past year many of you cheered and volunteered to support CLA and its students. Thank you! The CLA Alumni Society wants to thank you and to let everyone know about a new way to connect to other CLA alums and students: we've launched a LinkedIn group.
