2007 CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Alumni Events
GEMS is working hard to build connections among EMS alumni, students, faculty, and staff. Many of our activities are just for fun— tailgates, regional
receptions, our annual Traditional Reunion lunch, and the Arts Festival breakfast. We include professional conferences on our calendar and we try to
have special receptions for EMS alumni at some of them. Event registration is available by calling 814-863-4667 or sending e-mail to gems@ems.psu.edu
