On the evening of July 21st, the planning committee of Reconnect, the first-ever AHANA reunion, met at Alumni House on Newton Campus. The group, composed entirely of alumni and chaired by Boston College Trustee Keith Francis ’76, has been meeting monthly since April and is tasked with coordinating the largest gathering of AHANA alumni in Boston College history. The reunion, according to Francis, is designed to reconnect AHANA alumni to the University and encourage them to become active in local Alumni Association chapters. The meeting featured a presentation by Inés Maturana Sendoya, director of AHANA student programs, about her office’s contributions to Reconnect, as well as programming and budget discussions. Pictured above (from left) are Juan Concepcion ’96, JD’03, MBA’03; Stalin Colinet ’96; Dan Bunch ’79, MSW’81, director of the Learning to Learn program; Donald Garnet ’77; and Dawn McNair ’82, M.Ed.’83. Reconnect is scheduled for July 17–19, 2009. The planning committee will be sending out additional information about the event in the fall.
