Alumni Partnering in ILR's Future Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends, As ILR commemorates its 70th anniversary, we have a lot to celebrate. We are excited to welcome our new dean, Kevin Hallock, who we know will continue to build ILR as the premier school studying the workplace. We look forward to working with Dean Hallock as he leads ILR into the next 70 years. The members of the executive committee of the ILR Alumni Association are committed to partnering with you to promote ILR's mission. We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas about the school and how the alumni association can better serve you. There will be many opportunities in the coming year for you to become involved. Our alumni community has grown to over 13,000 strong, with 16 chapters around the country covering both coasts and cities in between. We can connect you with the chapter chair where you live or work. Many of you are engaged with ILR — helping to advance the school by hosting interns, sharing career advice with students, speaking with classes and donating to the school. We hope more of you will join our ranks of involved alumni. Your participation and input will continue to ensure that ILR remains the most infuential school of its kind in the world. Many of you might like to reconnect with ILR but are unsure of how to get started. We encourage you to reach out to any of us and we will fnd a place for you. There are ample ways to give back and get involved. The ILR School will continue to expand its reach to improve working lives, the workplace and communities; we want your ideas to be a part of its future. Please contact any executive committee member and give us your input.
