UPO Center for Foreign Students Alumni Association

Dear former UPO study abroad participant,

Greetings from sunny Seville! We are writing to you to announce the creation of the new UPO Center for Foreign Students Alumni Association! Our aim is to reconnect those with shared experiences at UPO so you may all network, socialize and reminisce about your experience in Seville. And it´s free so don´t worry, we´ll never ask you for money!

We would love to know about your whereabouts and what you´ve been up to since your semester/year at UPO. Are you still using your espaƱol? Working with a company with Spanish connections? Every month we´ll be interviewing a former participant and a current study abroad student to highlight in our newsletter.

We also want to keep you updated on news in Seville and at UPO. We want to include tips from current students on where to eat, what to do, etc. so if you or your family or friends (or future study abroad students) want to come to Seville, you´ll all have some up to date information. For example, the long awaited metro! It’s actually here!!


We have created an Alumni Association Blog in which we will post everything you will send us (pictures are welcome too). We will update it often so you will be able to read about former UPO classmates’ experiences and their current whereabouts and activities. Maybe you´re living in the same town as a former UPO participant? Or working at the same company/organization?

We know that many of you are still in touch with your former classmates from UPO (through e-mail, Facebook, My Space) so if this email does not reach everyone, please feel free to pass this message along. If you are interested in joining our Alumni Organization and having access to our blog, please write back giving us the following information:

· Your name:

· Your email address:

· Which semester(s)/year you attended UPO:

· Which city and state you are currently living in:

· What you are doing:

If you are able to record it on video and upload it on Youtube or send it to us, that would be great too! All your ideas are welcome!

We look forward to hearing from you!
