Our
third annual Greek Weekend and our first annual Spring Alumni Weekend will
be held during the Governor's Cup races on April 23 - 24, 2010!

An
exciting addition to the weekend this year will be our Alum of the Year
announcement on Friday evening!
All alumni are
welcome to attend ... we have several Greek organizations planning on a
presence ... and an alumni group of Radiology grads will be there too!
I am very excited about this year and the growth of the weekend.

Have
you visited the new Athletic Website yet?
Check out the new Golden Eagles athletics
web site! UC's new SID, Bill McDaniel, says the
site is still under construction, so don't worry if you don't see everything
yet, but you'll love the vibrant photos, calendar, polls, Athletes of
the Week, live stats and up-to-date info on UC athletics. Check
it out at www.ucwvathletics.com. You can also sign up for the
UC Athletics Newsletter online by clicking on the e-News button.
Bill is also working
on a link that will allow you to order customized t-shirts,
sweatshirts, etc. You'll be able to pick your own UC logo and piece of
apparel and put them together. (We even plan to have a MHC Alumni
logo.)I'll keep you posted to let you know when this new feature is
available.

candidates will join the ranks of alumni and we're proud to be able to
include their news in the Alumni eNewsletter as well. Look for news
from them as they study for and take their Boards and begin working in
this exciting field.
