George W. Bush to serve as one of his top economic advisers. Purpose-Driven Life “ Sharon Munger, BA’68 DANIEL DUBOIS Five years ago when Sharon Munger sold the MARC Group Inc., her Dallas-based marketing firm, to a large global advertising-communications holding company, she already knew what she wanted the next phase of her life to look like. She would stay on for three years as CEO (it ended up being five). She would help a select handful of young businesses to grow from being $25 million companies to $200 million companies. And, finally, “I wanted to volunteer my time in areas that could benefit from my experience,” she says. Luckily for Vanderbilt, the timing was right for her to take the helm of the Alumni Association. The daughter of a Texas oilman, Munger, who majored in English at Vanderbilt, says all three of her children have inherited her entrepreneurial streak—including son Shane Whalen, BA’93, chief operating officer of Innovo Group Inc. “I advised my children that they should get a liberalarts education and worry less about what profession they were going into and more about developing their ability to learn,” Munger says. “It’s probably even more relevant today than it was 40 years ago when I was in school.” Look for more specifics on how the Alumni Association, under Munger’s leadership, is strategically redirecting efforts at the club level, in the Fall 2005 issue of Vanderbilt Magazine.

72 T H E C L A S S E S “ S u m m e r 2 0 0 5 Dr. Monica Peek, BS’91, is a medical missionary and founder Alumni Needed for Expanded Interviewing Program This fall the Vanderbilt Alumni Admissions Interviewing Program expands to six more cities: Boston, London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, St. Louis and Washington, D.C. The program allows alumni to serve as a personal link to prospective students and their parents in local communities. By interviewing students, alumni provide a more personalized view of the admissions process, promote good will, and put forth a positive impression of Vanderbilt. The offices of Alumni Relations and Undergraduate Admissions jointly launched the program in the fall of 2003 in Atlanta, Chicago and Houston, and last year expanded to include Birmingham, Ala.; Dallas; Memphis, Tenn.; and the Metro New York area. Last year nearly 600 students requested interviews in these areas. Now this important program needs more alumni to help recruit and interview prospective students. Training in the above-mentioned 13 cities will take place during late summer and early fall. More volunteers are especially needed for the following areas of Metro New York: Fairfield County (Conn.), Long Island, Westchester and Northern New Jersey. Volunteers also are needed in Southern California from Los Angeles and Orange counties; in Northern California from Marin, Napa and Sonoma counties; and the Peninsula down to San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland. Plans for the 2006–07 application season may include expansion of the Alumni Interviewing Program to the following cities: Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando and Tampa in Florida; Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland in Ohio; Lexington and Louisville in Kentucky; Charlotte and the Research Triangle area of North Carolina; Austin and San Antonio in Texas; and Philadelphia. If you are interested in volunteering in any of the interview cities mentioned, please contact Cami Isaac in the Office of Alumni Relations by calling 615/322-2929 or e-mailing cami.isaac@vanderbilt.edu.
