Dear Alumni and Friends,

Three is a magic number. Think of the three wishes in fairytales; Aristotle’s three dramatic unities of action, time, place; and the unbeatable sturdiness of a three-legged stool. In every case, all three are equally needed to make magic happen.

On the MCV Campus, we have everything we need to make our wishes come true, to tell our story effectively and to build a solid foundation for the future. But we need to pull together our magic three – the MCV Campus schools, the MCV Foundation and the MCV Alumni Association – to make it happen. My goal as president of the MCV Alumni Association is to help strengthen the ties among these three entities so we can all be stronger going forward.

MCVAA is engaged in an extensive strategic-planning process that began with survey research conducted last summer. We now are inviting the development officers from each of our schools to a series of strategic-planning discussions about how MCVAA can more closely align its organization, priorities, programs, activities and communications with those of the schools. Our objective is to increase the engagement and participation of MCV Campus alumni through a closer working relationship between the association and the schools.

I look forward to leading the association as it goes through this process, and I am excited about the possibilities this endeavor creates. Together we can make magic!

Sincerely,

James H. Revere (D.D.S’65/D)

President

MCV Alumni Association of VCU
