ALUMNI RELATIONS
Who Are Foundation Alumni?
Everyone who receives a Rotary
Foundation grant or scholarship award is an alumni of a Foundation
program. Ambassadorial Scholars, recipients of Grants for
University Teacher or Carl Miller Discovery Grants, Group Study
Exchange team members, and Rotary Volunteers are all Rotary
Foundation alumni.
If you completed the requirements of
any of these programs, you are an alumni.
What Programs and Activities
Are Available to Alumni?
Alumni currently receive
REConnections, a twice-annual newsletter, in late-Autumn and again
in the Spring. REConnections details news of alumni activities and
the accomplishments of individual alumni as well as news of the
Rotary World.
If you are an alumnus/ae and have
not been receiving REConnections, complete our on-line address
update form.
As former Foundation program
participants, alumni gather on the weekend prior to the Rotary
International Convention for seminars and social events. These
events include the presentation of the Scholar Alumni Achievement
Award and the Scholar Alumni Service Award. The Fall issue of
REConnections contains registration material for the 1999 RI
Convention, which will be held in Singapore, Republic of Singapore
in June 1999. This year's Alumini events are scheduled for
Saturday, 12 June.
Even if you cannot attend all of the
International Convention , you are welcome to attend the 12 June
events. More information will be available soon.
