Alumni weekend was a phenomenal success. We opened Saturday morning with the Peddler on Britton Plaza. We gave away free coffee and mugs (that Alumni Relations had leftover from years past – sustainability!). The Alumni asked what we were about and what the Idea Fund was, and overwhelmingly loved us!
Later in the morning we held a presentation in the Stafford Auditorium and    proceeded to spend an hour with the attending Alumni answering questions    and taking suggestions. The conversation was stimulating and motivating and  we appreciate the time and interest the alumni provided!
 To round out the festivities the Handlebar (now officially run by CSE) was  open all weekend with the help of Glen Peterman from the Annual Fund.  We    sincerely thank Glen for his countless hours promoting the Idea Fund, CSE and the Handlebar itself!
Thanks to everyone who came out this weekend specifically to help out, including Anthony Silverman, Zack Kaiser, Emily Blau, Matt Michrina, Madison Beehler, and Tabea Zimmerman.
