Dear Alumni and Friends,

On behalf of the Office of Alumni Relations and Development, we wish you a Happy New Year! To kick off 2009, the Emory Alumni Association has launched one of the most exciting projects they have ever undertaken, an innovative new way to connect both current students and alumni of all schools! Emory E-Connection, an InCircle community, is an online social network that fosters professional and personal relationships among Emory's broad alumni and student community. Think "Facebook meets LinkedIn." E-Connection launched on December 15, 2008 and you should have received an invitation to sign up at that time. Other schools, including Stanford, the University of Michigan, and Dartmouth have successfully launched similar communities, which are essentially professional-networking platforms branded by the university.

In addition to connecting one-to-one, E-Connection provides opportunities for groups to form around countless affinities including reunion classes and "Goizueta Groups." We encourage you to join our Goizueta Group on E-Connection. There are many benefits to becoming part of E-Connection. Professionally, you will be able to send out job announcements, students and alumni can see registered alumni who work for particular employers, and you can receive position announcements from the vendor's Fortune 1000 partners.

We currently have over 2,000 Goizueta members on LinkedIn. Please take a moment to link to E-Connection and bring us 2000+ members!

Warm regards,

Samantha Renfro
