2008 Alumni Reunion Weekend was a great success -- we know this because you told us so. Comments from the post-event survey were very complimentary with a 90% approval rating and multiple comments encouraging other alumni to attend future events. To read some of the comments that alumni made about the Alumni Reunion Weekend, please visit our Alumni Testimonial Page. Thank you to the over 400 SPAHP alumni who attended this year's reunion. And, an extra special thanks to those who took the time to return surveys, if you haven’t had a chance to complete the survey, we'd still love to hear from you.
