Due to some unavoidable scheduling conflicts, this message is coming out several days later than we would have liked.
However, we definitely wanted to acknowledge and thank our local alumni and friends for the tremendous support provided both to the UofL DFW Alumni Club and the Cardinals during their exhilirating NCAA Final Four run.
The Bluegrass Armageddon Game Watch on Saturday March 31 was likely the best-attended game watch in club history, with nearly 30 Louisville alumni and fans present, including some first-timers (special thanks to those folks). And we had good crowds at the West Regional game watches as well.
A big shout-out is also due to Buffalo Wild Wings, the official home for University of Louisville game watches in Dallas-Ft. Worth. Their management and wait staff went above and beyond to provide tremendous support to our club, and we are truly grateful.
While the end result of the Cardinals' tournament play was disappointing, we were all reminded how our common connections to the university can make us closer.
If you're interested in learning more about the UofL DFW Alumni Club - and we certainly hope that you are - please contact Club President Mitch Matamoros (uofl@verizon.net / 214-348-5325).
Keep an eye on this website for information about upcoming activities sponsored by the University of Louisville DFW Alumni Club, and thanks again, everyone!
Even though I was dadreing orientation, I am very thankful that I had a remarkable experience with it. The welcome of the staff and the SOSers helps you feel comfortable with being there. They were always friendly, loud, fun, and ready to help you. For instance, my SOSer, Stehpanie Passow was amazing. She genuinely cared for each one her students in her own way. She was willing to help me when I became overwhelmed while trying to schedule my classes for my first semester. The SOSers are not the only thing that make orientation so great. Orientation is filled with many things you can do. They always tried to make it to where we were not bored and could get involved with what was going on. Rather it be cheers, dancing, or looking at informative booths at lunch time. Although I was exhausted the two days I was there, it was well worth it. I now fill comfortable with being a new incoming freshman, and feel confident that I can find my way around campus. So thank you orientation staff for making this possible! GO CARDS!! -Olivia Beam
