| News You Can UsE Please note: Due to the large number of photos taken by our photographer, Michael Maloney, during commencement, not all relevant photos have been posted; please check back frequently for updates. Please keep in mind the multiple audiences at an Olin commencement – students, parents, extended family members, alumni, Trustees, President's Council members, staff and faculty. Ideally, we are looking for someone with a connection to Olin, or to engineering and with a perspective that resonates with the values of Olin, or to both. We want her/him to be a good speaker, to convey a thoughtful message, and to add to the special sense of community at this important Olin event. Please submit your suggestions, with name and a short rationale, to Rod Crafts, Dean of Student Life, or to the Office of Student Life, Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, Olin Way, Needham, MA 02492. Dean Crafts will collect nominations for review by the Committee. June 30th Is Quickly Approaching—Have You Made Your Gift Yet?

Again, the turnout at each event was great, and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun catching up with each other. Revised Holiday Schedule Available Alumni, Did You Know?
