Alumni, undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff and the advisory board we be present to celebrate the College of Business.

The reunion will take place in The William H. Pitt Center on March 3 from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m.

"I think this is a great opportunity for people who have been through the business program to come back and see how far the Sacred Heart [business program] has come, since they have become the John F. Welch College of Business," said Jason Payne, junior, Courtland Maynor, N.Y. "These alumni and others will now get the chance to see how their contributions have helped the program."

The reunion will give everyone associated with the John F. Welch College of Business the chance to see old friends and celebrate their and the colleges great accomplishments throughout the 10 years.

The attendees at the anniversary celebration will enjoy hors d oeuvres and cocktails, while given the chance to watch the women's basketball team battle it out in first round of the NEC tournament.

"We are hoping to have at least 300 hundred people," said John Gerlach, coordinator of the John F. Welch College of Business 10th anniversary and reunion. "We invited the senior graduates and five or six retired facility members. The seniors are very much encouraged to come and join the reunion. We have a great raffle with some awesome prizes. If anyone has a questions about this event please contact the College of Business website."

Like Gerlach said, there will be a raffle. But do not be fooled, this raffle features grand prizes like wine and plane tickets. Also, all attendees will receive commemorative T-shirts at the event.

"Being a business major and currently attending the program here at Sacred Heart, it is an honor to be part of such a great program," said Brian Walsh, sophomore, Wakefield, Mass. "I think this anniversary celebration will be great."

Even though some students, like Kara Basque, freshmen, Plainville, Mass. will not be able to attend the anniversary and reunion celebration, she believes it will be a valuable experience for all those who attend.

"[The 10th anniversary] sounds like a good time," said Basque. "Being a business major, I wish I could be there, I'm sure there will be people there who would be great to meet and also great connections for the future."

So get down to business and help Sacred Heart commemorate 10 years of success and honor with the John F. Welch College of Business.
