theLAKER | 19 CLASS notes Dear Friends of the College, As summer approaches, I’m excited to share another edition of The Laker. Each issue is a reminder of the strength and connectedness of our FLCC community. Whether you graduated decades ago or recently crossed the stage, you’re part of a network that continues to grow and thrive. One of my favorite parts of this magazine is learning what fellow alumni have been up to in Class Notes. From new careers and professional achievements to growing families and community leadership, these updates remind me that FLCC graduates are finding success and making an impact in countless ways. Another class joins the alumni ranks this month, thanks to the support of faculty and staff. Our Advancement team, which promotes alumni engagement and philanthropy, is working behind the scenes to keep alumni, including our newest graduates, connected to our College. One of the things I’m most grateful for is the continued investment in our campus. Projects like the Muller Field Station bunkhouse give today’s Lakers more opportunities to succeed. It’s inspiring to see our College continue to grow, adapt, and thrive while staying true to the values that make us proud to call FLCC (or CCFL)* home. Thank you for being part of the FLCC story. Your pride, support, and connection to the College ensure that the next generation of students enjoys the same opportunities that meant so much to you and me. Not feeling connected lately? Attend a College event — see the list at flcc.edu/events — share an update for Class Notes at flcc.edu/alumni, mentor a student, or reach out to your fellow Lakers! Our community is growing all the time, and there will always be a place for you in it! Warm regards, Ethan S. Fogg ’00 *The College’s original name was Community College of the Finger Lakes.
