Welcome Back, SACD Alums!

My name’s Beth Bosserman, and I am the new Development Director at SACD. The best part of my job is working with SACD alumni, finding you, reconnecting you to each other and back to the School, exploring ways to engage you in student life, faculty work, and community programs. We are so proud of your achievements, so proud of YOU! I’ve posted a few Alumni Notes below to show you the kinds of reporting we’re going to do to share the great work of our talented – and very busy – Bull architects. I need your help to add to our data bank.

Please take the time to fill out the Alumni Update Card so we can make sure to keep you in the loop of all the exciting things happening on campus (note sneak preview of upcoming Lecture Series, as well as 2007-2008 SACD dates you’ll not want to miss. Send a little more detail, even a photo or two, of your work, award, newest baby, favorite project.

Stay connected.

Watch us grow!
