Dear SIU Alumni,
Welcome! The alumni office would like to ask you for your support. To improve our services to you we need more current alumni data. Please register at http://schilleralumni.com/cms/front_content.php?idcat=3 if you have not yet done so. Thank you.
Once again, we have good news for you. Please have a look at the various topics in this issue. We always appreciate your feedback.
Yours,
Ute Gleich
SIU Alumni Management

Currently the SIU Alumni Office is looking for alumni who would like to contribute some of their time to improve the alumni network.
Would you like to found a regional alumni chapter in your area? Organize meetings, seminars, reunions, and keep close contact with alumni to enlarge the Schiller Alumni Network?

Does that sound interesting to you? Then please contact Ute Gleich

New York Alumni Chapter
Doug Zucker, SIU Madrid Alumni, who lives in New York will be establishing the SIU NY Alumni Chapter.
Please contact the alumni office if you live in the area and would like to join the meetings, seminars, and other events he is going to organize.
New intense efforts are underway via the marketing staff of Schiller International University.

Many more student fairs are being visited by Schiller representatives this year than have been in the past. Included in those fairs (some already past and some scheduled for the future) are in Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Turkey, China, Italy, Thailand, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Slovenia, Dominica, Ecuador, Columbia, Chile, Peru, Argentina and considerably more in the United States than in past years. Other areas are being considered.

While this is going on, at the same time, increased infrastructure is coming into place to be better able to assist SIU representatives with their needs and students who inquire.
Greatly enhanced software and increased numbers of Schiller employees are participating in follow up. A new view book will soon be completed and available for each campus and for representatives.
A new Director of International Marketing will start working with the university in December.
The Schiller web-site will be updated and improved within a few months.
Much more is in the planning stages and Schiller International University is moving quickly toward what we believe to be a brighter future with more students and greater ability to assist them in their educational pursuits.
The Co-op program combines studies and work experience to prepare students for leadership roles in today's global environment. It offers students an opportunity to learn more about their chosen field, gain on-the-job experience and make contacts for future full-time employment.
Co-op positions are paid internships and students in this program are required to participate in them. Students have an excellent opportunity to intern in hotels, tourism agencies, banks, business, technology and financial institutions in the Tampa bay area.
Many multi national companies look for the expertise and knowledge that international students bring to their companies.

Whether students plan to work in the USA or work in their own country after graduation, the Co-op program prepares them for unlimited employment opportunities in global companies.

Next semester, spring 2007, SIU London have organized a series of guest lecturers coming to the campus.
It would be a sort of informal lectures during a 45 min lunch time covering some interesting present topics in marketing, business, tourism...
Therefore we invite all Schiller alumni who would like to come and contribute. You could chose any topic you find might be of interest to students.

Please contact Sonja Aracic, London Campus Secretary, for further information
