Annual lunch inspires a new chapter

For several years, alumni in Cleveland, Ohio have gathered together for an informal lunch on an annual basis. Hosted each year by Margaret W. Wong '76, the gathering has become a highly anticipated event, and has led to efforts to establish a more formal alumni chapter. With alumni scattered throughout Ohio, a state-wide Chapter is being developed. The Chapter will alternate events and programs at different cities throughout Ohio including Cleveland and Cincinnati. Wong and Susan H. Poole '97 are organizing the first meeting of the formal Chapter and are actively recruiting alumni volunteers.

If you work or live in Ohio and would like to be involved in this initiative, email us today!
