Class of 8T9 – 20th Anniversary Networking Reunion
There’s still time to register for the 20th Anniversary Networking Reunion Thursday, June 11, 2009. This is a great opportunity to catch up with friends from your Skule™ years. If you have questions, contact Keren Morehead at 416-564-5039 or Mary Butera at 416-978-4941.

Alumni Guiding the Way
Another successful year of the Skule™ Mentorship program, chaired by Caprice Boisvert (MIE 9T3), has come to an end. In its fourth year, a distinct pattern has emerged: many alumni who volunteer as mentors, participated as mentees when they were students. Also, several relationships formed between alumni and students continue well beyond the program. For more information about Skule™ Mentorship or to sign up as a mentor, visit our webpage.
