The AIA logo presents four swallows moving into the four cardinal directions radiating from the center of the world, which is a universal concept for most tribal societies. The swallows are found all over America and are commonly known for returning to their nesting place; this is especially appropriate for the American Indian alumni returning to campus for reunions, alumni events, and other ativities.

About AIA

Dear Prospective American Indian Alumni Club Members,

As we embark the New Year, I hope that many of you will consider joining me and the rest of the American Indian Alumni Club members. We hope to be the Club you all have never seen before by being active and encouraging networking and new friendships. Please join us this year as we prepare to launch a full schedule full of fun activities for you and your friends and family!

As the new AIA Club President, I would be happy to have you join me and the rest of the group! And bring your other Alumni friends as well. I hope to have the privilege of meeting you, if not now, keep in mind that we hold our annual Homecoming breakfast towards the end of the year.

If you have any questions please feel free to email me at marchand15@msn.com!

Sincerely,

Chad S. Marchand
