In today’s tough economy, Associations are increasing their career resources
for alumni; the bonds of the Cane Family are more important than ever, and
reinforcing those bonds is a responsibility we all share. In that spirit, one
of the initiatives your Alumni Association will work on in the coming year
is Alumni Supporting Alumni which encompasses alumni
hiring alumni, supporting alumni
owned businesses, providing alumni
discounts, and alumni
career development. Your Alumni Association is a resource, take advantage
of it.
