From The President: February 2023
Welcome to the first edition of the OGA newsletter for 2023.
I hope you’re all having a wonderful start to the year.
We have an exciting few weeks coming up, with the OGA Reunion almost upon us. You may recall that last year’s event was sadly cancelled, so this year will be double the fun. If you were in the Classes of 2017, 2013, 2012, 2003, 2002, 1993, 1992, 1983, 1982, 1973 or 1972, then we look forward to welcoming you to the College on Saturday February 11. You can find more details and buy tickets HERE.
I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome our newest members… the Class of 2022. This year will be one of the most exciting of your lives, and we can’t wait to see what you get up to.
The OGA is a great way to stay connected with the College, make new friendships or rekindle old ones, and also give back. After a tricky few years, we are looking forward to hosting many more events and opportunities to connect with one another.
Until next time.
