Well Fun, Tech ranked above us...

Note, one of the best ways to increase in alumni donations is to improve in athletics.

After Z's alumni gathering last week UL will have a huge growth of Alumni contributions----I don't know how many grads Tech has and it wouldn't surprise me if the donations were on a % of graduates basis---we have over 100K alumni and only 6K contribute---This is about to change in a very big way!!!!

No doubt La Tech is ahead of us now in graduation rates and peer reputation and, likely, alumni giving/percentage membership. We are moving up in graduation rates with selective admissions but we were (Darn it) late to the game. Thanks to you know who and his reasoning. But as far as research and growth, we're on the move. This freshmen class was our biggest/brightest. Not biggest ever but SAT/ACT, rank, and size - looking good. We see it in the class room and on competitive national exams. Much better now. The bar is higher and I'm sure glad I finished when I did.

Grad act takes affect next fall. We'll all be scrambling for the best students. We need all to step up on recruiting the best in all areas.
