Dear Connecticut College Alumni: Thank you! More than 40 alumni responded to last month's request for newsletter names. We haven't made a decision yet but stay tuned: we will unveil the new name and a new look for the newsletter next spring. The changes are among several new alumni initiatives being announced by President Higdon. He'd like your ideas for others. CC News Five CC holiday receptions from Boston to DC drew hundreds of alumni to mingle, reconnect and celebrate the season. Photos tell the story. With trustees' OK, President Higdon asks fund managers to divest shares of companies that support Darfur genocide. William Wuyke, CC's first strength and conditioning coach, knows Camel athletics well. Researcher Jennifer Dziubeck '05 helps investors make socially responsible decisions — and says her own consciousness has been raised in the process. Four alumni and a standout coach will be inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame during a campus ceremony Jan. 27. Fashion icon Nan Kempner '52, whose advice to wannabe stylistas was 'be yourself,' is herself the subject of a new exhibit at the Met. A 30-year tradition continues: students raise a record $3,843 to fight hunger. Freshman Jennifer Tejada, a first-generation college student, has received CC's first Cornel West Scholarship. CC makes the news nationally and locally; read highlights. For a calendar of athletic, campus and alumni events, go to www.conncoll.edu. To update your address, e-mail alumni@conncoll.edu. Announcements CC is gathering information from alumni for a new directory. You will receive a questionnaire by mail and might get a phone call from Harris Connect, which is printing the book. Please return the survey promptly so that the directory can be as complete as possible. If you recently published a book, please have your publisher send a review copy and publicity materials to CC: Connecticut College Magazine. The magazine includes write-ups on alumni and faculty books in its "Ink" section. For information, contact Mary Howard, managing editor, at mvhow@conncoll.edu. We welcome your feedback on our monthly newsletter. Send comments to the editor, Barb Nagy, at banag@conncoll.edu.
