Council of Alumni and Friends

The Norton School Council of Alumni and Friends

The purpose of the Alumni Council is to aid and support the goals of FCS through the participation in and communication of all relevant activities. During the year we host graduation celebrations, faculty/staff luncheon, and alumni receptions for past and present alumni. In addition to the many activities we coordinate and participate in, we raise money for student scholarships while serving as advocates on behalf of the School.

From the council president:

As Past President of the Council, I am excited to tell you about some of the great things that are happening at your School. The members of the Council are proud to have been an important part in the exciting changes for over twenty years. As you know I am most excited to extend you an invitation to our annual luncheon on the Friday of Homecoming here on campus! You can email Gina McCann at gmccann@email.arizona.edu and she will send you reservation information as it becomes available, or check back here! It will be a super time to greet "old" friends, to chat with professors and students, and to see first hand what is happening.

Sincerely,
