WFU Alumni Office Seeks Partnership with Downtown Restaurants

The WFU Almni Realtions Office would like to have a downtown alumni event on Friday, October 8- the night before the homecoming game vs. Navy. They have already had about 150 young alumni from all over indicate they would like to participate in something like this. This would be a more informal arrangement where the participating businesses are listed on the WFU Alumni site and they take a more self-guided approach as opposed to have 150 people in one place at one time.

Please contact Kate Reece with WFU if you are interested. She can be reached at 336-758-5108 or reecekm@wfu.edu.
