Alumni Directory Project Underway
As
you may already know, the data collection and verification
process for the next edition of the CSU Alumni
Directory is currently underway. If you have already
called to update your information, thank you. If
not, you may receive a phone call from PCI/Publishing
Concepts to verify your information in the coming
weeks. PCI will give you the chance to both update
your information and to purchase a directory, should
you choose to do so. The Alumni Directory will
provide opportunities for both personal and professional
contacts among CSU graduates and help the Alumni
Office stay connected with over 13,000 CSU graduates.
If you have any questions about the Directory Project,
please contact David Weiss at alumni@csuniv.edu or
at 843-863-7516.

Phonathon
2009 us underway! During Phonathon 2008, more than
$34,000 in pledges was received from our loyal Alumni.
Making calls during the months of February, March,
and April, out Alumni volunteers and student callers
will be working diligently to contact over 13,000 alumni
to update information, connect with campus news, and
seek financial support. With a record enrollment of

been greater. Making even a small donation will go
a long way towards making the goal of a college education
a reality for CSU students. If you would like to save

ALUMNI MENTORING
Once
an alumnus is established in the world of work, many
are eager to provide assistance to other members of
the Charleston Southern regarding career concerns. CAN was
developed with this in mind.
Upon
your return to campus, there will be many mentoring
options for helping CSU students, including:
- Interviewing
candidates for job openings or bringing resumes back
to your organization and advocating on behalf of
our students
- Presenting
to career planning class to providing informational
sessions about your company, jobs and/or internships
available, and career opportunities
- Addressing
classes and/or presenting to relevant student organizations
about careers with your company
- Speaking
with students over the phone or at lunch
