Letter from CALS Alumni Board President

Dear Alumni and Friends: 

As the new president of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Alumni & Friends Association Board of Directors for 2006-07, I thank the many alumni who volunteered to serve the college at various events during the past year. Many of you helped with the Ag Pavilion at the western and eastern Idaho fairs this summer. Others assisted at other reunion and college events throughout the state. 

I encourage you to participate in the Alumni & Friends Association. Through the Alumni & Friends Association you will meet new people, renew old friendships, develop networks in your field of interest, and provide valuable service to the college. 

We want to set up several small meetings with Alumni and Friends throughout Idaho over the next year providing opportunities to renew old friendships, meet new Alumni, and learn about current activities at CALS. If you would be interested in helping us with this activity in your area, please call 208.885.6446.

I look forward to serving as president and having the opportunity to meet many of you during the coming year. 

Best wishes!

Dwane Benson
