Dear NSAC Alumnus,

Greetings from the Nova Scotia Agricultural College!

If you have been receiving the NSAC Agricola News and the Alumni E-News, you are aware that these are exciting times for the NSAC.

We are currently enjoying a nearly five per cent increase in enrolment, the third such increase since 2003-2004. As well, the university welcomed one of its largest influxes of international students to campus this Fall. Forty-eight international students are calling NSAC home this year including students from China, Norway, Mexico, Japan, Rwanda, India, the UK, Jamaica and Bermuda.

We would really like to have an opportunity to get together with our alumni in Newfoundland to fill you in on the details on these and other exciting initiatives. We’d also like to stay connected with you and hear what is happening in your lives.

Craig Curley, a member of the NSAC Recruitment team will be in the St. Johns area on Monday, October 23rd, 2006 and would love to get together with you for an evening of casual conversation and fellowship in The Port Room of the St. Johns Mariott Hotel, 131 Duckworth Street beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Area meetings such as this are a way for us to touch base with our alumni. We get a lot of our updated contact information on alumni by hosting these area get-togethers. There won’t be any formal program. It’s mainly a chance for you to hear a little bit about what’s happening at the university and an opportunity to meet and renew acquaintances with other AC grads living in the area.

I certainly hope you are able to attend this get-together on the 23rd . Feel free to bring your spouse and your yearbook and other photos for an evening of reminiscing. There will be a cash bar and finger foods provided.

Please RSVP your attendance either by phone (902) 893-7247 or by e-mail at alumni@nsac.ca by October 20th, 2006
