Greetings Fellow Alumni and Friends,
Thanks so much for visiting the Alumni Association Board page! I am proud to serve as President for the 2011-2012 year. I am excited with the progress that the Alumni Association has made over the years and look forward to the year ahead. The College is a very special place to each of us. The friendships and memories of Notre Dame that we have are priceless and coming together as alumni both on and off campus helps to continue to bring the spirit of Notre Dame College alive!
Won’t you join us this year at the various events that the Alumni Association sponsors? Perhaps you can bring your family to our annual Homecoming Weekend events or meet some friends at our Spring Luncheon. No matter what event, coming together with the many men and women of Notre Dame College is an enjoyable and memorable time!
In addition to our events, there are also many opportunities for you to be involved. Attend our meetings, volunteer to assist at an event and contribute to its success or bring fellow alumni friends out and just enjoy yourselves! If you want information on becoming more involved, please contact Mary Elizabeth Cotleur at 216.373.5316.
Your time, energy, talents and passion for Notre Dame are always welcome! I look forward to seeing you at any of the Alumni Association events on or off campus celebrating our Alma Mater, Notre Dame College.
Sincerely,
Tina M. DiBacco Jurcisin ‘85
President

**A SPECIAL MESSAGE**
To stay in step with the evolution of our alma mater, the Notre Dame College Alumni Association Board has initiated the process of changing the Association's Constitution. To facilitate the process, the Association Board convened an ad hoc Constitution Committee comprised of Alumni Board Members, Past Presidents of the Association and other interested parties to review the current Constitution. Suggested changes were presented to the full Alumni Board on Thursday, 1/19. A motion was made and passed to present the Constitution changes for approval at the Spring Annual Business Meeting on Saturday, 4/14. Please click the link below to review the proposed changes.
