I think that our very young alumnae group would benefit from having some older members' perspectives- we don't necessarily need them to do anything, just help balance us out. We have all graduated in four years or less ago. We have the energy and motivation to do things, sometimes we are just at a loss/unsure of what to actually do. It also makes it difficult to sell the idea to collegians that we are involved for life- yet the only advisors graduated under 10 years ago, and the only other active alum are the 5 of us in our group. I find it very disappointing. I would love to get to know older members.
