Alumni & Friends
Greetings to all of our
SAA Alumni & Friends!
Welcome to our new SAA website. We hope to reach out to more of
our alumni, faculty emeritus, and program friends than ever
before during this academic year. Although there is still so
much more to do here, I want to give you a brief update:
First, I want to introduce you to our SAA graduate assistant,
Kristin Van Vleet. Kristin's primary responsibilities are in the
areas of alumni relations, marketing, and all the miscellaneous
things that I'll send her way throughout the year. Needless to
say, I should have no problem keeping her busy! Originally from
Marinette, WI, she received her BA in English from UW-La Crosse
in May, 2008, and is excited to continue her UW-L career as part
of the SAA community.
One of Kristin's first assignments has been to gather some
history information about the SAA program. She met with Norene
Smith & Pat Mertens to get their take on the SAA story including
that fact that the program name has changed several times since
1968. Once she has everything put together, we'll add a
"History" link here. Kristin would love to hear some "history"
from you so feel free to share your memories and pictures with
her by sending them to her email address at
vanvleet.kris@students.uwlax.edu . We are especially
interested in hearing from our emeritus faculty so that we can
update their information and connect with them this year as
well.
We are in the process of updating our alumni database and would
like to hear from you. Feel free to pass this link on to others
who are also graduates of the program. Please send the following

Finally, we are planning an SAA reunion during the UW-L
Centennial Celebration that is scheduled for October 2009.
Although the details have to be worked out, we hope to get as
many SAA Alumni & Friends there as possible, including emeritus
faculty who are able to join us. We'll get more specifics out as
soon as we can!
