Alumni on Campus
Rockford College alumni have been busy the last few weeks-making a difference in the lives of our students. On April 11, seventeen RC alumni and friends from a variety of fields came to campus to share their experience with students at Connect the Dots, an event co-hosted by Rockford College Career Services and the Alumni Office. On April 18, fourteen alumni teachers attended Pizza, Passion, and Teaching, an event designed to provide RC education majors with information and guidance related to entering the field of teaching. These events provide our students with advice and real world exerience that helps prepare them for life after graduation. Thanks to all who attended!

Alan Hutchcroft Alternative Spring Break
Twenty-one RC students and twelve alumni who attended the Alan Hutchcroft Alternative Spring Break (AHASB) last week in Starkville, MS are back to school and work this week, but their efforts over the break will not be forgotten, either by participants or by the families they helped there. On Monday, March 7 the group was provided a slab of concrete and a stack of lumber, with the challenge to have a house framed and shingled by Friday, March 11. We are happy to report that they accomplished their goal, moving a family of five, currently sharing a two bedroom apartment, a few steps closer to having their own home. We are so proud of our alumni and students who gave up their spring break to help change their world!

Rockford College Career Fair a Success
On February 25, Rockford College Career Services hosted a Career and Internship Fair, attended by 40 local employers and approximately 175 students, alumni, and community members. In addition to learning about open positions within these companies, attendees were able to submit resumes to be included in a resume portfolio available to employers who post open positions with Rockford College Career Services. To date, 15 interviews have occurred as a result of the event.

We'd like to thank our volunteers from last month:

Matt Adams `04

The museum is a local treasure, celebrating the cultural history of a unique blend of ethnic groups. Join them at Cliffbreakers on Sunday, February 20 for "Love and Marriage," a fundraising event that will include dinner and the showing of ethnic wedding dresses and traditions.

Rockford College Radio Returns!
The Rockford College Radio Club launched its new internet station this semester. The launch party, held January 21, was co-hosted by Vince Chiarelli, Bern Sundstedt, and Matthew Flamm, and included an introduction to people associated with the radio station, anticipated programming, and a celebration of the original WRCR. Live programming is being added slowly and hopes are to have a full line up by March. Tune in to the station at www.live365.com for music, interviews, and more. Alumni Glen Moss `70 and Cece Forrester `72 have made guest appearances, and we look forward to hearing from others from the original WRCR crew. We are very excited about the new station and we hope you will enjoy it!
