Sharing Positivity
If you follow the Alumni Association on social media, you’re familiar with our day-today content: program promotions, photos from recent events, alumni profiles and collaborations with campus partners. To kick off 2025, we tried something a little different and launched a series of daily Instagram and Facebook posts featuring alumni pets. An abundance of content submissions, higher than-usual engagement metrics and conversations about the series proved to us that no matter what is happening in the world (or in your social media feeds), all ages, species and breeds of pets are sure to bring positivity! We had a great time getting to know so many alumni and their furry family members, and watching as pet stories were liked and shared across multiple accounts and social media platforms. I hope you enjoyed “PAWSitivity Month” as much as we did! Catch up on the alumni pet series by visiting our Instagram profile @UAlbanyAlumni—you’ll be glad you did.
Adding to the positive experiences, I’m excited about some of the plans we have in store for Homecoming 2025! Details will be revealed in the coming months, so be sure you’re subscribed to Alumni Association emails and keep an eye out for updates on our social media accounts. These are the best ways to keep up with the latest information including when registration officially opens. Until then, I hope you’ll plan to join us the weekend of Friday, Oct. 17 and Saturday, Oct. 18. If you’re on the fence about coming to campus next fall, just remember: There’s no place like home.
Thank you for staying connected to your alma mater, and for making the UAlbany Alumni Community the most valuable network to all Great Danes. I’ll see you in October (if not before)!
Lee Serravillo
Executive Director, UAlbany Alumni Association
