Welcome back! As winter weather stubbornly maintains its
grasp on Wisconsin (in spite of what the calendar tells us), I hope that
everyone in the USM community enjoyed a safe, fun, and refreshing break.
As you know, I take great pride in the strong sense of
community that we foster at USM and all the academic and athletic opportunities
we offer our students. The lessons of teamwork, leadership, and hard work
learned by our student athletes last long beyond their time at USM, as will the
relationships they build here. Often the bonds of friendship remain strong but,
sometimes in our busy world, team members lose touch – both with each other and
the School. Therefore, I am delighted to tell you about our newly formed
Varsity Club as a way for our former athletes to reconnect.
The Varsity Club is successfully bringing together MCD, MDS,
MUS, and USM varsity letter winners from all sports. From merger-school alumni
to our most recent graduating classes, I am pleased to note that, just a month
into the program, more than 30 alumni have become members.
Free admission to cheer on the Wildcats at all regularly
scheduled USM athletic events and a subscription to the Varsity Club newsletter
are just a few of the perks that members enjoy!
Whether through athletics or by participation in any of the
opportunities we offer here, we all benefit when we forge these ties. Our
entire community is strengthened by inviting these former School athletes to
reconnect.
