Graduates, staff and students of Corner Brook campus, College of the North Atlantic (CNA), gathered at the campus on Tuesday evening to mark the launch of a local chapter of the college’s Alumni Association.

CNA has always maintained ties with many of its graduates; the establishment of the association will extend this contact to many more, initiating a number of activities and services throughout the province.

“We now have an alumni association that can provide you with a wide range of services and benefits, such as a free subscription to our alumni e-newsletter, support for class reunions and alumni chapter activities, career development, continuing education opportunities and more,” said Laura Edwards, Manager of Alumni and College Advancement.

The association will also provide opportunities for alumni to support current students of the college through guest lectures, work term placements and mentorships, she suggested.

“We are proud of the success of our alumni, and their example allows current students to see how training at College of the North Atlantic can contribute greatly to their career success as well,” said Edwards.

Graduates of CNA, current students and current and retired staff and faculty are all eligible to join the College of the North Atlantic Alumni Association. The alumni website may be viewed at: http://www.cna.nl.ca/alumni/.
