Chicago Alumni Event

The SUU Alumni Chapter in the Chicago/Midwest area is alive and well! We had a wonderful day at Wrigley Field on August 22, 2010, as we watched the Chicago Cubs play the Atlanta Braves (Atlanta won). The game was also historic as it marked the retirement of legendary Cubs Manager Lou Piniella. Thank you to everyone who attended and stay tuned for a possible Chicago theater event on October 1.

Southern California & Lagoon Picnics

Southern California Alumni held a BBQ August 14, and welcomed incoming students from their area to SUU. Thank you to our chapter president Ralph Spence for organizing the event.

August 7, was our inaugural "SUU Alumni Day at Lagoon" in Farmington, Utah. Alums and their families took advantage of a special discount offer and enjoyed a day at the amusement park and came together in the early evening for a picnic.

Alumni Movie Night

SUU Alumni Movie Night August 5 in the Cedar City Main Street Park was a huge success. Several hundred alumni and friends of Southern Utah University watched "The Blind Side" on a 21-foot screen, enjoyed free kettle korn & otter pops, heard from Coach Ed Lamb as he reported on early successes of camp and met the 2010 Thunderbird Football Team. Thanks to all who attended.
