Forum 40404 is a group of alumni who have volunteered to share their opinions, experiences, and ideas by answering four to five surveys over the course of a year.  For the second iteration of the Forum, we  sent invitations to a randomly selected group of 6,000 alumni (graduates and non-graduates) with a valid e-mail address.  The current Forum 40404 panel consists of 339 members including 78 members who agreed to continue to serve from last year.  The goal of the Forum 40404 project is to have a dedicated group of alumni who provide an alumni voice to inform decision-making.

Monday Messages to Students – 2020

In October 2020, we contacted the Forum 40404 members to describe campus changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At that time, we asked the members to write something to students, a brief message of encouragement or wisdom to share during this difficult time in our history.  We are sharing those with our campus community each Monday; you can see the messages below. Thank you to all of our Forum 40404 members.
