Welcome to the Fall 2008 issue of The.Link.
The fall issue of the Link features our regular columns, including an alumni and a faculty profile, updates from HBHESA and Alumni News and Notes. This issue also features a new column: Internship Corner. The HBHE internship experience is one of the most important and rewarding opportunities during the program, so we've decided to give it its own section!

Exciting news and updates from your fellow alums - Letter from the Chair
HBHE Chair, Marc Zimmerman, reports on news from the department.
I also want to encourage you to explore the new tools available on the HBHE Alumni website. Many of you have joined HBHE Alumni Facebook group where you can stay in touch with each other, send updates, discuss careers and health issues, and post photos and videos. We have also uploaded all of our course syllabi into an HBHE Alumni Ctools site. Ctools is an online course/project environment at UM. Feel free to contact us if you would like more information about how to use these exciting new resources.
Special note of thanks to our new Link Committee for helping with ideas, articles, images, and general updates. Committee Members are: Areeta Bridgemohan '09, Danielle Robling '09, Honor Potvin '10, Jessica Ameling '09, Benita Sinnarajah '10.
If you have news you'd like to share, ideas for newsletter articles, or would like to send comments or feedback about the newsletter, we'd love to hear from you. To contact us, send an email to hbhe.link@umich.edu.
