Alumnae Reception - July 31, 2008

What do you get when you take 32 women who graduated from Kettering University/GMI/GMIEMI, beautiful surroundings, fabulous wine, and delicious fruit and cheese? A very special event - the first ever Kettering University Alumnae Reception. On Thursday July 31, the women of Kettering united at Oakhurst Golf and Country Club. In addition to the fabulous company, a fantastic networking opportunity, and wonderful instruction by Oakhurst's in-house sommelier on the intricacies of wine and cheese, Julie Straka, President of the Kettering/GMI Alumni Association, gave a brief update on the University and lead the alumnae in a fun-spirited icebreaker. Keep your eyes on your email - we'll be sending save-the-date information regarding our next Alumnae event as soon as we have the topic, date and location selected. Hope to see you there!

Associate Professor Janet Brelin-Fornari chats with high school acquaintance Joan Florian '85. Heather Sheppard ’95 and Kettering/GMI Southeast Michigan Alumni Association Chapter president, Valerie Maw ’95 share stories about Kettering/GMI as they wait for the wine tasting to begin.
