Dear Connecticut College Parents:

We hope you had a memorable visit with your sons and daughters over winter break. Students will start the spring semester on Jan. 23 and will surely create more news in the months ahead! Please enjoy the campus news and announcements below.

•  Camel kindness. CC alumni reach out to support the family of Jorge and Liza Talusan-Vega, both members of the Class of 1997, after their 2-year-old daughter is diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer.
•  100 candles. Cordelia Johnson ’28 celebrates her 100th birthday. Do you know other alumni who have reached that milestone?
•  Check the label. Art professors Pamela Marks and Tim McDowell design labels for a California winery. Their art is featured in a new coffee table book.
•  In the nude. The members of the Connecticut College club soccer team bare it all — well, almost — for a 2006 wall calendar.
•  Happening on campus. Judge Patricia McGowan Wald ’48, an expert in international humanitarian law, and Jack Bogle P’80 ’94 GP’07, founder of Vanguard Group, will be on campus in February to talk about their areas of expertise.
•  The whistle keeper. The Connecticut College women’s soccer program has a new but familiar face at the helm.
•  Braving the elements. Jennifer Lilly ’99, a meteorologist and former CC sailor, aids competitors in a worldwide race.
