05.25.04 BOSTON AREA CAMPAIGN KICKS OFF IN STYLE
The elegant and historic Boston Athenaeum provided the setting for a memorable evening on Wednesday, May 5, as members of the UVM community in the Boston area gathered to kick off the Boston phase of The Campaign for the University of Vermont.
Highlights of the night were remarks by three faculty authors — Robert Manning, Professor in the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, author of Reconstructing Conservation: Finding Common Ground (Island Press, 2003); Melanie Gustafson, associate professor and director of graduate studies in the Department of History and a faculty member in the Women's Studies Program, author of Women and the Republic Party, 1854-1924 (University of Illinois Press, 2001); and Major Jackson, assistant professor of English in the College of Arts & Sciences, author of Leaving Saturn (University of Georgia Press, 2002).
Pam McDermott '73 welcomed the approximately 150 Boston-area alumni, parents, and friends, and introduced President Daniel Mark Fogel, who spoke about the importance of the effort in Boston to the success of the overall Campaign. President Fogel gave an update on Campaign progress in Boston and nationally, with special thanks for the work of the Alumni Association's Boston Regional Board and the Boston Campaign Committee.
The Boston phase of the Campaign runs through June 30, 2005.
