SLAT Alumni Circles Program

June 24, 2024
Alumni connections picture

Hello SLAT Alumni! 

We at SLAT believe in the power of connections. Think of all the people you connected with while you were a student in SLAT.  Remember all those great conversations over coffee on campus? All those chances to brainstorm together?

Angus Leydic, a current SLAT student, is helping SLAT develop our alumni network. You may have received a LinkedIn connection request from Angus these past few weeks. We have been working to develop a SLAT alumni network based on geographic location in order for graduates to connect with each other in person if they would like! 

Angus will be sending out emails this week to ask about your participation in the SLAT Alumni Circles program. His email address is leydic(at)arizona.edu. If you would like to give him an email to make sure he has the correct contact information for you, please do so in this google form: https://forms.gle/UhHgvth7V5sYNyib6

After the end of June 2024, Debbie Shon Buhler (the SLAT Program Coordinator) will take over the program. Until then, feel free to reach out to Angus.

Thank you for helping us keep up the SLAT connections!
