Michael D Richards director of alumni relations "People think we are slow only geared to the elderly and unresponsive” Richards said He refutes this by stressing a growth in numbers of alumni under the age of 35 The needs of the younger graduate have become more apparent he said citing that 2000 students graduate yearly from USU Programs show graduates that the alumni assocation exists and has something to offer A voice for these programs is the Outlook newspaper It is published nine times yearly and reaches 68000 people Richards said For these graduates of USU programs are offered activities are sponsored and even miniature wallet-sizediplomas are processed These small cards invite the graduate to recognize the organization and feel like an alumnus Any student who has attended at least one academic quarter or a summer workshop at USU is considered to be an alumnus According to Richards Alumni Records Office stores files on 71500 alumni There are approximately 120000 "lost when one counts the alumni" who have not submitted their current addresses Primarily the alumni program is geared toward keeping in contact with former USU students "We try to reach out and to keep them in touch with the university" Richards said The older alumni are honored through special alumni awards class reu homecoming nions and other programs such as Founders Day which will be held March 8 Reunions such as the one sponsored annually for a Golden Anniversary Club The organization unites those who graduated from USU at least 50 years ago Although many activities are sponsored to involve and unite the former Aggies there are other reasons for this interest "Those prominent citizens who graduated from here have a lot of money and a lot of loyalty to this institution We solicit to those who are willing and able to promote the university Promotion is central to what we are all about” Richards said In addition to the financial support the alumni give the university a new plan allows more alumni to volunteer time in their geographic areas Special interest activities will be sponsored in outlying communities such as receptions and meetings Secondly the alumni can give serve prospective students by con- tacting them through home seminars and sending information on to USU Thirdly alumni can help to update records and improve informa- tional contact by submitting change of addresses and honors given The annual Aggie Day at Lagoon Amusement Park in Salt Lake City is geared toward the younger graduate Last summer about 4600 alumni attended This figure includes faculty and staff Iranian diplomat to speak the a Fereydoun Hoveyda cur- rent political refugee in the United States will address Thursday's convocation His topic will be "Iran: from the shah to Khomeini and next" The former Iranian ambassador to the United Nations experienced the overthrow of his country and the execution of his brother in 1979 "My country was overthrown by a religious fanatic whose harsh dictatorship is without precedent in modern times it replaced the authoritarian and too often diffident rule of the shah" said Hoveyda “My only brother the former Prime Minister of Iran (and a moderating force in country under the shah) was executed following a mock trial by the Islamic regime” d Hoveyda recently completed a book The Fail of the shah and is working on another book on the Ayatollah Khomeini' He also is writing a report for the United Nations on religion's influence on population trends Hoveyda who was bom in Syria and educated in Lebanon served as the UN ambassador from Iran from 1971 to February 1979 when Khomeini overthrew the shah The convocation lecture will begin at 12:30 in the FAC auditorium |
