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.  The current Forum 40404 panel consists of 339 members including 78 members who have served since 2017-18.  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 shared those with our campus community each Monday; you can see the messages here

Thank you to all of our Forum 40404 members.
