Happy Holidays from The U of M

This issue is the final edition of our E-Newsletter for the calendar year 2002. We hope each of you enjoyed receiving it and have found it beneficial in keeping up-to-date on developments at your University.

As 2002 comes to a close and you prepare to review the year by giving thought to charitable giving, please keep your alma mater in mind. Contributions of any size can and do make a difference to the legacy of learning that is The University of Memphis.

Because learning is forever, a gift to the University is one that lasts forever. For those of you who have given, please accept the University's sincere appreciation. For those of you who have not, please consider doing so, if your personal situation permits.

On behalf of the Alumni Association and the entire University of Memphis family, best wishes for the holiday season and a very prosperous and joyous New Year.

Five individuals will receive The University of Memphis Alumni Association's highest honor this spring, the Distinguished Alumni Award. The gala, scheduled for March 22, will honor Frank Flautt (BS '63) and Allie Prescott (BA '69, JD '72) as Distinguished Alumni; Gene Cashman as Distinguished Friend; and Eric Jerome Dickey (BSET '83) and the late Christie Kelly (BSEd '91) as Outstanding Young Alumni.

An in-depth look at this year's winners will appear in the Winter issue of The University of Memphis Magazine. For a look back on all past award recipients, please visit http://www.memphis.edu/daa.html.
