 It's no secret that the Internet has changed the way we communicate. We're taking advantage of the latest advances in this technology to stay in touch with alumni and supporters. HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS Plans are underway for a new Alumni Center on Upper College Road. To take a look at a model of the proposed Alumni Center and follow the project's progress, go to our Web site at advance.uri.edu/alumni/alumnicenter. GRAD FUNDS GO ONLINE Last fall, the Annual Fund began offering an option to give online to the Alumni Fund and the Parents Fund. Because of the great response we received, now you may make an online gift to the MBA Alumni Fund, the College of Human Sciences and Services Graduate Student Fund, the Graduate School of Library and Information Studies Fund, and the Community Planning Program Fund. For more information about this secure and convenient way to give, go to advance.uri.edu/giveonline. HOMECOMING ON THE WEB October 20 was a great day, complete with perfect fall weather and a Rams' victory. If you missed it and want to take a look at some photos of the people and activities that made it so much fun, go to our Web site at advance.uri.edu/alumni/homecoming. MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
