Welcome to the inaugural edition of our University of Rochester Chicago Network newsletter!
Though we’re geographically far from Rochester, we’re committed to bringing the spirit of Meliora to the Windy City and beyond. Today, more than 1,800 alumni call Chicago home, and our community of alumni, parents, and friends is growing and flourishing. Recently, we rang in 2019 with a celebration at The Metropolitan featuring alumni performers from the Eastman School of Music and more than 100 attendees.
This newsletter will allow us to keep you connected and informed throughout the year by sharing exciting updates, volunteer opportunities, University news, and more. From a robust calendar of events and activities to networking and mentorship opportunities on The Meliora Collective, we invite you to join us in raising your hand, learning something new, and letting your UR pride shine.
As co-chairs of the Chicago Network Leadership Cabinet, we are proud to work with so many of you—and look forward to getting to know many more!
If you’re interested in getting involved as a volunteer to help plan or host events, serve as a career mentor, and more, please contact Chicago's staff liaison, Cece Gotham at cgotham@ur.rochester.edu.
Wishing you an Ever Better 2019!
Meliora,
