A Message from Your Alumni Director: As we enter 2008 it is rewarding to look back on a year full of many alumni supported events. There were sporting events with ngihts for Villa Alumni to attend a Buffalo Sabres Game and a family night with the Buffalo Bisons Alumni came back to the campus to share their talents in various ways. Some by mentoring in the Education, Interior Design, Music and Physical Therapist Assistant programs while others spoke to students for the Barbara B. Little Speakers Series and the Fall Honors Convocation. Campus tours saw alum from various years come back to see what has changed and what stayed the same since their gradation. An Alumni Speaker series was started and to date Villa has hosted Lessons in Lighting and a Poetry reading and book signing thanks to the talents of alumni.
