2008 Poet Awards...the Alumni Association wants to hear from you!

Do you know a Whittier College graduate who has excelled in their chosen profession? Has one of your classmates made a significant contribution to their home community? Do you know a Poet that continues to give of their time and talents to Whittier College?

The Alumni Association Board of Directors is calling for nominations for the 2008 Poet Awards. This year's honorees will be recognized on October 18, 2008 during the Whittier Weekend festivities. This is a wonderful opportunity to recognize Whittier College's best and brightest alumni. If you are interested in submitting a nomination please click here and take a few minutes to look over the criteria for each of the Poet Awards. Nominations are being accepted through May 15, 2008.

While on-line I also encourage you to join our POET ONLINE COMMUNITY, where you can look up old friends, submit class notes, get news, and join in discussion boards. First-time log-in users may register for this exciting, new, password-protected site, by clicking here.

Be sure to visit this site often in the months and weeks leading up to Whittier Weekend 2008 for updates on reunion activities, Poet College courses, sporting events, and more!

I look forward to seeing you at Whittier Weekend 2008, October 17-19!

Best,

Jose Casillas '87
President, Whittier College Alumni Association
