Hi Class of ’98 friends. Hoping this post finds you and your loved ones healthy and safe. It’s hard to believe we’ve been sheltering-in-place since mid-March. If you’d like to share any updates or news, we’d love to hear from you!

If you’re mainly at home, check out one of the recent Titan Talks that have been taking place weekly. You can find recorded webinars here.

Here is an article of a few alumni who are providing leadership in the COVID-19 global response. Thank you to all!

Take care, everyone, and hope to hear from you soon!
