Staff members Maria Vieira and Jennifer Boyles have expanded their responsibilities to include a variety of services for grads. Their new duties are a natural extension of their current  responsibilities. In her work as Associate Director of Education, Maria knows each of the Center's graduates; her new role fits neatly into her current work in overseeing the MSRED program.

Jennifer has worked closely with the Alumni Association of the Center for Real Estate (AACRE), and was the "point person" for logistics related to AACRE's spring symposium; her involvement was an important part of the symposium's success.

Among their new responsibilities, Maria and Jennifer will…

• Organize the annual alumni dinners during graduation weekend
• Update and produce the alumni/ae directory each year
• Coordinate the annual phone/thank-a-thon
• Monitor the class gift accounts
• Coordinate faculty-alumni/ae visits regionally
• Provide assistance as needed with event planning

As the number of Center graduates grows, facilitating communication with alums becomes critical, and we want to make sure that every graduate feels as connected with the Center as s/he wants to be. Maria and Jennifer look forward to growing the relationships with our graduates.
