The University of the Virgin Islands' Institutional Advancement
component and the St. Croix Chamber of Commerce will host Business
After Hours on UVI's St. Croix campus from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on
Thursday, July 9, in the atrium of the Melvin Evans Center. Come
out and network with members of the business community as the
University showcases some of its most memorable alumni, donors,
programs and events.
As always, the Chamber's Business After Hours on Thursday will
provide a welcoming social atmosphere with hors d'oeuvres, the
Chamber's customary cash bar and door prizes. The event will
feature video presentations and a chance to win two (2) tickets to
the Oliver Samuels production of "A Sheep in Wolf's Clothing,"
which will be presented on Friday, July 10 at the Island Center on
St. Croix.
The UVI Institutional Advancement component began its development
activities in 1974. With a goal of promoting the University while
stimulating philanthropy, the component, headed by Interim Vice
President Dr. Henry H. Smith (a College of the Virgin Islands
alumnus), consists of the Reichhold Center for the Arts, the Office
of Annual Giving and Alumni Affairs, Public Relations, Advancement
Services and Scholarships, Major Gifts and Special Events. So far
this year UVI's Office of Institutional Advancement has secured
more than $150,000 in donations for deserving scholarship
recipients.
