Polar Bears Offer President Zaki Warm Welcome Coast to Coast
By ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ NewsFrom coast to coast and across the seasons, hundreds of alumni turned out at events across the country to welcome Safa Zaki, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾’s sixteenth president.
Beginning in the fall with events in New York City and Boston and continuing in early 2024 with West Coast gatherings in San Francisco and Los Angeles, the series of welcoming receptions drew Polar Bears to meet and mingle. February brought President Zaki south to Naples, Florida, and Houston and in the spring to Seattle, Washington DC, and Chicago. In early June, New Canaan, Connecticut, was the site of the last event before summer officially got underway.
Altogether, more than two thousand Polar Bears have made their way to events that typically begin with an introduction by local alumni followed by remarks from President Zaki.
Additional welcome events are being planned for the upcoming academic year. A San Diego-area event is planned for November 14 with registration opening in September. A date for a gathering in London will be announced soon.
