Form S series

I have been asked by Dean Dan Goble to check in with graduates from 2009, 2010 and 2011 to find out what you are doing?

Questions will include: Did you get a job when you graduated, if not how long did it take?
Are you using your degree?
Did you go onto other studies? and of course, while contacting you I will want to update your web page.

Brittany Leandra wrote, "Oh gosh that did need an update! Thanks for putting in the more current information that I just gave you. I am the art assistant for Fine Gardening Magazine. That's my official title if you wanted to include it!

Here is a jpeg of our current cover that you could include :)" 

Please respond when I contact you!!!
