Welcome from the President

I need your help, advice and most importantly your presence!

My first goal as President of your Alumni Association is to entice you to come back to the campus, to visit, talk with our students and renew your contact with the faculty and staff. I am in the process of trying to arrange for free parking in one of the decks; an Alumni name tag that will admit you to the Medical School, hospital and library; and an expedited system to obtain hospital privileges that will enable you to make rounds and provide students with your clinical experience.

In the modern era, we have the advantage of the internet and cell phones that are, in actuality, small computers we carry in our pockets. As any of us over 50 years of age will note, the adaptation to these modern communication tools has been at best a challenge, initially overwhelming, but now a necessity. You can determine your "status" by whether you still have a home phone attached to the wall! The Alumni Association wants to take advantage of these communication tools by working with you and keeping our web site up-to-date. We will keep you informed of breaking news and current research at your School, including announcements, notes, observations, upcoming events, and alumni publications that you share with us.

See you on the internet! ( http://njms.umdnj.edu/alumni/president.cfm or
