WNUR Alumni Group Needs Your Involvement

EVANSTON, July 20, 2000 (Special to WNUR)--Following on the terrific success of the WNUR 50th Anniversary Reunion, former staff members of the nation’s largest college radio station announced formation of a permanent alumni group.

Called the WNUR Alumni Organization (www.wnur.org/alumsite), the group seeks to “promote professional, intellectual and social ties among WNUR alumni,” according to Stephen B. Rudolph (Speech ’75), chair of the group’s provisional executive board.

“Everybody receiving this e-mail notice is invited to join our group--in fact you’re already members!” said Rudolph. All former staff members of WNUR automatically will be members of the alumni organization.

For now, the WNUR Alumni Organization is focusing on filling out its governing board and planning such activities as job networking, student mentoring and social events.

“We need people to get involved--now,” said Helen Kriz Marshall (GS ’78), who chaired the wildly successful 50th Reunion.

Rudolph says the governing board will mostly meet by e-mail and/or conference call. “You can be involved regardless of where you live,” he says.

Interested? E-mail Rudolph at wnuralumni@wnur.org to volunteer or ask any questions.

A draft constitution for the WNUR Alumni Organization is posted at www.wnur.org/alumsite.

The group hopes to adopt its constitution and formalize election of officers by the end of September.
