Meet Stefanie Carroll,
our newest staff member! |
The Office of Alumni Relations is pleased to announce Stefanie Carroll (pictured right) as the new Assistant Director of Alumni Programs and Services.
Stefanie brings years of experience managing volunteers, implementing educational programs, coordinating special events and conducting grassroots lobbying, all of which are relevant to her new role here at Metro State. Most importantly, she brings an understanding and shared appreciation for the Alumni Association’s core values and the mission of the college. We are excited to have Stefanie join the team with Joshua Anderson, Cynthia Howington and myself as we work together toward the vision of Metro State as the preeminent urban baccalaureate college in the country.
If you have an interest in volunteering or sharing ideas for this publication, you can reach Stefanie at 303-556-6935 (phone), scarro17@mscd.edu, or in-person at the 1020 Ninth Street Park office.
A Special Note: All of us in the Alumni Office and the Alumni Association wish alumna and former staff member, Amanda Garrison, the best as she enjoys her new journey in life as a new mother and resident of Grand Junction. Best wishes Amanda, Charlie and little Samantha.
Sincerely,
Cherrelyn Napue
Director of Alumni Relations

Benefits—Loan Consolidation Offering
Avoid the federal student loan rate increase! On July
1, 2006, interest rates on federal student loans are expected† to
rise sharply, meaning higher monthly student loan payments for thousands
of recent graduates like you. Avoid the impending rate increase, and keep
your monthly student loan payments as low as possible.
ACT NOW to consolidate your student loans before the new rates
take effect! Visit www.mscd.edu/~alumni/studentloans
for more information.
†Interest rate increase prediction is based on the rate of the
91 Day T-bill, which will be reset on July 1, 2006. As of March 29, the
rate on the 91 Day T-bill was 1.63% higher than last year.
