<p><strong> </strong>PIERCE and DEREE alumni and their families are entitled to a select number of services for free, including career services, and we showcase these in <em>Touch Base</em>, alongside news on alumni, reunion updates, networking events, our upcoming 2014 Alumni Achievement Awards and much, much more.</p>
<p>We welcome your news and comments on how to further engage our community through <em>Touch Base</em>. You are ACG’s living brand, and your achievements not only reinforce the value of an ACG education, but also serve as an inspiration for current and future students. Please send us your news and feedback at <a href="mailto:alumni@acg.edu">alumni@acg.edu</a>.</p>
<p>ACG’s Office of Development and Office of  Alumni Relations have recently been combined into one department. The objectives of the new Office of Development &amp; Alumni Relations  &#8211; to help alumni connect with each other and with ACG, and to promote support of the College and its students  &#8211; are in line with PIERCE’s historic motto <em>Non Ministrari sed Ministrare</em><em>”</em><em> which means &#8220;Not to be Served but to Serve</em><em>”</em><em>). </em><em> </em></p>
<p>PIERCE and DEREE alumni occupy leadership positions in companies and organizations globally and constitute a vibrant and proud alumni body that promotes the ACG brand by supporting each other and supporting ACG through giving back – whether by mentoring, offering internships, donating, or simply sharing your stories with students.</p>
