Together for Rochester

a one-year campaign to make life better

DEAR READER,
I’m pleased to introduce you to the spring edition of Buzz, our new lifestyle magazine
for alumni, parents, and friends of the University of Rochester.

At the start of the pandemic, we launched Together for Rochester, a yearlong effort
to help each other through the tough times. We started streaming faculty lectures
and providing career coaching. We launched new affinity groups for networking and
support. We grew our mentorship program, launched a virtual book club, and hosted
real conversations focused on social justice. As a result, we’ve had thousands of new
people get involved with the University.

This special edition of Buzz should reach your home at a time when winter hibernation
is nearing its end and new hope is on the horizon. As we enter this next phase of the
pandemic and start to imagine what’s next, we want to build on the sense of community
that has been so important to our daily lives during the past year.

If you have feedback on this publication, or want to reconnect with Rochester, feel free
to contact me at tom.farrell@rochester.edu.

Sincerely,

U N I V E R S I T
