Alumni Directory to be Updated<br />
This Summer<br />
Keeping in touch with your fellow alumni has<br />
never been easier! O’Dowd has contracted with Harris<br />
Connect to produce the next alumni directory. <strong>The</strong><br />
previous directory was published in 2006.<br />
<strong>The</strong> publication will include a full-color glossy front<br />
section about O’Dowd, a “Throughout the Years” photo<br />
gallery, organized by decade, of color or black and white<br />
images and captions submitted by alumni, a geographical<br />
section, as well as an alpha section which will include<br />
each alumni’s contact information, current job title and<br />
employer and up to two post-secondary degrees earned<br />
and the institution(s).<br />
Harris will mail O’Dowd alumni postcards which<br />
request that they call an 800 number to verify/update<br />
their information and, if they wish, submit photos and/or<br />
personal messages for inclusion in the project.<br />
Thanks in advance for your cooperation with this<br />
project.<br />
