INTRODUCING ALYSSA HAMMOND
Many of you know Alyssa as our CDI architect, passionate teacher, social media guru and even Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon master.

She is a force of nature and a lover of Mondays and Bentley Falcons. And I am honored to count her as a colleague and friend. You will be hearing from Alyssa directly about all of the exciting plans she and our fabulous Undergraduate Career Services team have on tap for the semester. But for now, it’s Welcome, Welcome, Welcome! Let’s get to work to help YOU love Mondays too.
Susan
