Join us at the 5th Annual Reunion of UBANA
|
We are into the "countdown" mode for the 5th Annual Reunion!
In exactly 60 days, great Uniben Alums mostly in North America and Europe would converge in Valley Forge, just outside the city of Philadelphia for this once a year reunion that has grown to be a huge event in the calendar of Uniben Alums all over the world. Over the last 5 years, this event has grown so big as to not only shape relationships amongst us here in the Diaspora but has become a major tone setting for our alma matter
We hope you have made plans to be at this very special event. The planning committee of dedicated alumnae in the Delaware Valley is working hard to make the event a very special one.
If you are still in doubt, don’t forget, there is a chance of a FREE hotel accommodation for one night at The Radisson Hotel, Valley Forge if your child wins the maiden Brigadier-General Solomon Giwa Amu Essay Prize. The planning committee is still calling for entries and have not received any.(See attached flyer)
If you're not sure you would be attending, then we are adding the reunion schedule for you, maybe that would help in making you realize what a great time awaits you, and most importantly, the chance of meeting remarkable and successful alumni who have made commitments to mentor those of us who need mentoring and uplift our great Uniben
Come ready to have a great time and to reacquaint yourself with a remarkable group of people - including YOU!
