Sign Up 10 and Save
Alumni Association members will receive significant savings when a group of 10 or more members registers for GIA's 4th International Gemological Symposium and signs up at one time. The special rate of $995 per person – a $600 savings off the at-the-door registration fee of $1,595 – is available until June 15. Contact the Alumni Association office for more information.

Mentors Needed
Connecticut, Maryland, Missouri and Wisconsin have Distance Education students who need help, but have no mentors to turn to. If you're a GIA graduate and want to volunteer to be a mentor to a GIA student, call Dani Oliver at (760) 603-4160 or e-mail: dani.oliver@gia.edu.

E-mail Meeting Reminders
The GIA Alumni Association will soon begin e-mailing all Alumni Chapter meeting announcements. Don't miss out on your chapter's meetings! To be notified of chapter meetings in your area, please e-mail alumni@gia.edu. You don't have to be a member to attend.
