Alumni Web site launches "Tales of Ricks College and BYU-Idaho"
The Brigham Young University-Idaho alumni Web site has launched a new section called "Tales of Ricks College and BYU-Idaho." Using this new feature, alumni can write about any memories and experiences during their college days.
"We wanted a place where alumni of all ages can see how college life has changed, and yet remains the same, by sharing life-changing experiences," said Steve Davis, manager of Alumni Relations. "No matter where our alumni are today, they can be linked together through these memories."
Entries can be funny, inspirational, romantic or just plain fun. Some current stories include light-hearted classroom experiences, football season memories, and spiritual insights. "These stories can range from humorous to tear-jerking," said Davis. "We want alumni to share their most distinctive memories."
To view "Tales of Ricks College and BYU-Idaho", go to www.byui.edu/alumni. Stories can be submitted via e-mail to daviss@byui.edu. Entries may be edited for content and length.
