College of Business forms Alumni Association

By Dana J. Callaway, Herald Staff

The College of Business recently formed a Business Alumni Association for graduates, former students or persons who have an interest in the College of Business.

"The purpose of the association is to promote the welfare, interests and excellence of the College of Business," said Dr. Paula Ruby, faculty liaison and assistant professor of decision sciences.

According to Ruby, the dean of the College of Business developed the association.

"Currently, the association has about 30 members. We are seeking active involvement of members in supporting such activities as the Conference on Lessons in Leadership, Economic Outlook Conference, the second annual Emerald Gala, an evening of dance to support scholarships for the College of Business and the second annual Scholarship Golf Scramble," Ruby said.

There is no set meeting time for the association. Meetings are held on an as needed basis, according to Ruby. The dues for membership are $12 annually.

If anyone is interested in joining the association please contact the College of Business or call Mary Helen Peters at 972-1957.
