the addition of an online database of alumni contact information and a
virtual bulletin board for graduates to post messages.

“”We are pleased to have Dr. Loo leading our alumni association with his
experience and insight,”” said Richard M. Nordin, vice president of

school are a crucial proponent in the growth of our institution.””
