Message From the Presidentof the UW Medicine Alumni Association

It’s never too early to plan!

If our tireless Alumni Relations team had a motto, that would be it. Only a few weeks after the conclusion of our last reunion, they took up the task of planning the next one: the 2012 Reunion Weekend (June 1–3, 2012).

It’s early in the process, so things may change. Still, I want to share some of the new ideas we’re considering: an elegant wine-tasting on Friday evening, discovery tours to various venues on Saturday afternoon, and dinner at an iconic Seattle landmark: the Space Needle. And then a casual brunch on Sunday, to get in a last bit of socializing.

Sound good? Put the 2012 Reunion Weekend on your calendar — it will be delightful to see you. Want to do more? Consider volunteering for your reunion committee and encouraging your classmates to attend. And enjoy this issue of the magazine.

Regards,

Trish A. Raymer, M.D.
