Happy Holidays and Upcoming Events

Happy Holidays

From all of us on the leadership team of the Bay Area Chapter, we wish you happy holidays and a wonderful new year! 2016 was a fun year for DU and our friends and family in the Bay Area. Despite some heartbreaking semi-final losses, our men's lacrosse and soccer teams had terrific campaigns and we could not be prouder. Academically, the school is stronger than ever, continuing to admit new students with stronger academics and more rounded extracurriculars than ever before. Locally, we went to a Giants game, volunteered at the local food bank, and enjoyed several social events. We're gearing up for an exciting 2017 and look forward to seeing you in the coming months!

DU Day of Service

Register Now: DU Global Day of Service is July 30th

The SF-Marin Food Bank is on a mission to end hunger in San Francisco and Marin. With over 100,000 meals worth of food going out each day, they rely on the support of volunteers to serve the community.

Looking for Volunteers

We're looking to grow the local alumni leadership group! Brian Elizardi, Director of Alumni Relations at DU, will be in town for the Giants game this month. He and I would love to meet with anyone interested in helping make this chapter stronger and better. The time commitment for volunteers is minimal but the impact can be huge! If you want to get more involved, just reply to this email - couldn't be easier.

Cheers,

Jared, '04
