June 2018
Dear Graduate,
Congratulations on your graduation, and welcome to the Athabasca University alumni family.
Today, you join more than 30,000 former graduates from around the world, who are putting their AU education to work for their families, their employers, and for their communities.
As of June 20, 2018, to commemorate your special day, visit convocation.athabascau.ca/memorabilia to download a free photo of you receiving your Convocation 2018 parchment, courtesy of the Alumni Engagement team.
Now that you have reached this well-deserved milestone, we hope you will stay connected with AU. We consider our recent graduates an integral part of our continually growing alumni community, and we hope to develop a relationship with you, beyond AU — to learn about your new and future endeavours, including those related to the communities you help to transform, the secrets behind your continued successful balance between work, life, and family, and your best practices for career- and personal success.
We, on the Alumni Engagementteam, are committed to keeping AU's alumni network vibrant and relevant to your needs, as you move into those exciting next chapters. Our institutional performance is best measured by your success, and we are always on the lookout for potential alumni mentors, for our current and future learners, and even for your alumni peers — who may benefit from the examples you set in life, post-AU.
We’re here to help you stay connected with your peers and professors, tap into useful resources (such as AU Library databases), be part of AU events in your area, and take advantage of group benefits from affinity partners. Visit the Alumni Relations website at athabascau.ca/alumni for all the details.
We’re proud to follow the successes of each and every one of our graduates. Who better to be AU ambassadors than our outstanding alumni? So, please, do let us know what’s happening in your life. We’re excited to hear from you! Visit the website, send an email to , keep your contact information current, and get involved in all that the Alumni Engagementoffice and AU have to offer.
Congratulations once again! A long and rewarding relationship with your alma mater has just begun — and we look forward to staying in touch.
Sincerely,
Tara Friesen
Manager, Alumni and Community Engagement
