The School of Allied Health Professions’ Alumni
Association has spent part of this year planning for a transition. As of
July 1, 2005, Dr. Jan Jeter will no longer assist the Alumni Association in
the role of faculty liaison. In preparation for the transition, Michele
Zitzmann has assumed the position of Interim Vice President; Gregg Jones is
the Treasurer; and Kim Simmons is the Secretary. Past President, David
Klein, suggested changing activities from the large group format to
individual departments with separate organizational structure.
Upcoming
plans include more departmental activities for alumni, continued alumni
outreach under the direction of Kirk Nelson; and a fundraiser.
The
Alumni Association’s Executive Committee acknowledged
the hard work of our former administrative liaison, Jan Jeter. As you know
Jan has put countless hours and energy into Alumni activities and
scholarship fundraisers. She will devote her time solely to continuing
professional development in the School.
The Executive Committee is also
in a restructuring mode. Focus on individual departmental activities will
take precedence over the large group get togethers. Alumni outreach events
are being planned. Let us know if you would like us to visit your place of
employment. Contact us if you are willing to host a small gathering.
