Alumni Association letter from the President

One year ago, a small group of CTI alumni gathered together to start an alumni association. Thirty-four graduates and students volunteered to help as founding members. During the past year, those who participated in the development of the program have received immeasurable rewards, the side benefit of volunteering.

We have found a new attachment to and sense of pride in our university and our school. We have reconnected with old friends and teachers and have met new fellow alumni. We have rediscovered the excitement of DePaul sporting events and the challenge of new learning.

We have established an incredible network of business associates in our chosen fields, senior executives and recruiting executives in a wide array of commercial and academic fields. Some of us have even found new job opportunities through our alumni association connections. All of us have discovered a wealth of opportunities and friendships through volunteering for the CTI Alumni Association.

But perhaps the greatest reason for giving time to CTI is our connection to what has become the largest and most diverse computer science school in the country, a source of pride. Computer science, or information technology, is a revolution of change, moving so fast none of us can keep up. CTI is at the forefront of this change. Through CTI programs and services and the CTI Alumni Association, we can receive regular updates, continuing education and connections to and discussions with professionals in other fields.

Volunteer! Become part of the CTI Alumni Association and discover a new wealth of opportunities, friendships and rewards. Get connected and stay near your university.

--Thomas D. Young,

President DePaul CTI Alumni Association
