<strong>Alumni</strong> Greetings<br />
Returning<br />
“home”<br />
I am very pleased to return to the position<br />
of alumni director after five years of working<br />
with President Victor on college and alumni<br />
events and other programs. Although I<br />
will continue to wear many “hats” at the<br />
<strong>College</strong>, alumni relations will always be<br />
dearest to my heart.<br />
(You may even catch<br />
me wearing my blue<br />
and white beanie at a<br />
few alumni events!)<br />
“Engagement”<br />
will be my mantra<br />
this year, as we<br />
reorganize the office and create additional<br />
ways our alumni from all over the country<br />
can keep in touch with their alma mater.<br />
We now have an <strong>Alumni</strong> Facebook page<br />
and an <strong>Alumni</strong> Twitter account, and we are<br />
starting to grow a young alumni and MBA<br />
component to our department.<br />
If you wish to assist with admissions in<br />
your area, job searches for graduating or<br />
current alums, or host an alumni event,<br />
please contact me at 440.375.7040 or<br />
dremington@lec.edu. Our alumni office<br />
can be as dynamic as those who wish to<br />
participate in its growth.<br />
Come join me – continue the tradition of<br />
support and love for our beloved LEC!<br />
Best regards,<br />
Debra (Blanchard) Remington ‘74<br />
Greetings from the<br />
National <strong>Alumni</strong> Board!<br />
Everything must have a beginning . . .<br />
and that beginning must be linked to something that<br />
went before.<br />

Recently, I was walking in downtown Cleveland with my <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Erie</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
umbrella in hand. A man standing next to me turned and said, “I hear great<br />
things are happening at <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Erie</strong> <strong>College</strong>.” I couldn’t help but smile,<br />
because great things are happening at <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Erie</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Erie</strong> <strong>College</strong> is experiencing a modern-day renaissance with record<br />
enrolment, impressive capital improvements and increased student and<br />
community involvement. However, I think you will be pleased to know that,<br />
even with all of these changes, <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Erie</strong> <strong>College</strong> remains a place where you<br />
are trained to think critically, your professors know you by name, and you are<br />
challenged to be the best that you can be.<br />
If you are in the area, please make a point to stop and visit the campus for<br />
yourself. I think you will be amazed by what you see. Also, be sure to check<br />
the LEC website at www.lec.edu and “friend” <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Erie</strong> <strong>College</strong> on Facebook<br />
to learn more about the exciting events that are occurring on campus.<br />
Although graduation marked the beginning of a new phase of your life, you<br />
are always linked to your beginnings in this community, and you are always<br />
welcome home.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Janeane Cappara, J.D.,<br />
’95, MBA ’04<br />
President, National<br />
<strong>Alumni</strong> Board<br />
Director of <strong>Alumni</strong> and Community Relations<br />
Member, <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Erie</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
