    It isn't rocket science to create an atmosphere that welcomes and applauds the alumni. Creating positive relationships certainly pays off. At the HFH, there are the "boxes" at the west end that sit empty most games. You could easily use them as a special area for alums from out of town, etc. If that area is vacant most games, why was it built? Recruiting hockey alumni to advise on the upgrades to HFH is also a good idea. If they felt slighted over the hiring of the coach, try to make it up to them.
    Gotta say those boxes are disappointing looking. Positive relationships are key, but you usually do not create those buy straight out asking for money.

    Usually it's the trustees that have pull on the Pres unless of course there's a winning DI football coach.

                  If you call using the Clinton machine an accomplishment...

                  Whether or not she's serious about the 20 mil "investment", given the bond rating just went down, where's she going to get that money? RPI will soon be a junk investment. I guarantee, once she retires (assuming the Clintons and cronies aren't artificial beings), things start turning positive.

                    The only people that get hurt by not supporting the school (not Shirley) are the current and future students. Oh yeah, and the school itself.

When I asked why I was told that they can do better. In the back of my mind, I feel that's one of the reasons why Ben didn't get the job, regardless of how well his interview went.
                      So the school doesn't support its graduates. Then they should just close up shop. The person who told you that should be fired immediately.
                      Are they only hiring Ivy leaguers?

                        They do make you fill out a form if you hired a white person over someone of a different color. Or at least that was the case when I was there; wouldn't be surprised if it still is...

                          I wonder if Graeme Townshend applied for the coaching vacancy.
