RealCTY talk:Alumni Association

I think an alumni association is a great idea. Can we think of a way to spread it among those of us who became alumni a long time ago? On the one hand, it might sometimes be hard for people in their 30s to share a community with people who are 16, but on another level, I think that sometimes communication across generations could be helpful (or maybe I'm just flattering myself). --Sammka 19:17, 10 September 2006 (MST)

Actually, I think having an intergenerational community can be helpful in a lot of ways. Not only are, in most cases, CTYers more mature than kids their own age, but it'll be useful to help CTYers in school, work, etc. Of course, the danger is that this will devolve into an old boy's network, but I think a loose network can provide younger students with mentors and opportunities. -- JW

I really like the idea of an alum association, but I'm not sure I understand why it has to be based in Lancaster, rather than in the CTY community as a whole. (Or did I misread that part?) And, as with Sammka, I'd really like it if it were intended to include multiple generations of CTYers. Honestly, it's a great networking idea, if nothing else. And probably someone should make sure that the facebook group for CTY gets incorporated somehow... ~Zoethor2
