Minnesota covers the century

From M, fall 2003

A special treat is in store for all alumni who are members of the University of Minnesota Alumni Association (UMAA).

In January, Minnesota, UMAA's membership magazine, will include a separate 100th anniversary publication, detailing the history and personalities of the century-old organization.

And, throughout the year, Minnesota will run features on UMAA history in addition to its regular and lively mix of campus news and issues, alumni profiles, sports, essays, book reviews, and more. Recent issues of Minnesota have included stories on dance professor Ananya Chatterjea (pictured), the troubling phenomenon of sports riots, Oscar-winning animation effects creator John Hughes (B.S. '70, M.S. '73), Gopher basketball star Lindsay Whalen, and surgeon Mike Maddaus (B.S. '78, M.D. '82), who went from high school dropout to world-class doctor.

Joining the alumni association by November 30 will ensure that you receive the anniversary publication. See www.alumni.umn.edu or call 612-626-0474 or 1-800-862-5867.
