REGARDING WESTERN

I know we've discussed this, and that at least a few of you might be interested in trying to lend your weight to the kids who are still at Western. Don't throw the baby (program) out with the bath water (faculty), right?

Anyway, I just got this email from Marta:

Hey guys,
As you may or may not know, the university is seriously considering a proposal to dismantle the current Western program, creating in its place a "Western Honors College." There has been a significant alum movement to get Miami to change its mind. If you want to get involved, the first step is to sign up for the Alumni listserve. (See the e-mail below.) Additionally, on Friday I'm going to Western to participate in a Dean's Advisory Council meeting. We're going to be brainstorming ways to save our school. If you have any suggestions, or have questions, please let me know.

Warm regards,
NAME

Dear Westerna,

It has come to my attention that the only place which has every alum's info is Miami's alumni association, which would be unwilling to release all of those email WCP graduates' addresses for us to alert them to what's going on with the WCP. In light of this, please forward the following message to all alums you know and ask them to forward that on to any other WCP alums they know:


>>Dear Western Alumna/Alumnus,

Miami University's current administration is seriously considering the dismantling of the Western College Program. To be updated with what's going on, please sign up for the WESTERNA listserv at the following site:

http://listserv.muohio.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=westerna&A=1

You can sign up for a daily digest version (just one email with all messages of the day) or a message-by-message version (who knows how many emails you'll get per day, but you'll be updated moment-by-moment).

To find out more, please go to the following website:
http://wiki.wcp.muohio.edu

And add your information in chronological order under the "Alumni" tab.

Thank you!
NAME
Class of 2007

PS: NAME, senior program assistant for the WCP, needs your contact information so that the WCP administration can contact you guys more directly in emergency situations in the future (seeing as how the Miami Alumni Association would be unwilling to release this private information to us). Please email her at EMAIL.
