Avenues to Success Notes

Welcome to Norwich University Parent and Family Association

I am happy to announce that the Norwich University Parent and Family Association has decided to partner with Avenues to Success. Parents will be given the opportunity to buy subscriptions to Avenues to Success for their students to help them stay focused on their college goals and to provide support to meet the challenges of college life.

The students benefit again because a generous portion of the subscription cost is returned directly to the NU Parent and Family Association to support parent/family programs.

Welcome Norwich University Parent and Family Association! We are happy to serve you.

Ohio University Student Alumni Board

Ohio University Student Alumni Board came on board as a Sponsor in the Spring of 2006.

The Student Alumni Board (SAB) is one of several outstanding student organizations at Ohio University. The Board was established  in 1978 with intentions to enhance student and alumni relations. SAB provides a variety of services to make the University at large aware of the Ohio University Alumni Association and to encourage students to participate in the educational and social functions of the Student Alumni Board.
All of this is made possible by the diverse, creative, hard-working members of the Board, and the outstanding support we receive from the staff at Konneker Alumni Center. Together they bridge the gap between Ohio University students and its alumni.
