President's Column

Tom Nickel '06
trn.architect@gmail.com

I am honored to be serving as Chapter President, and I am looking forward to reigniting the Delaware Valley Chapter. I am a graduate of the Architecture Program Class of 2006. We have a really dynamic and diverse group of alumni in this area, and we owe it to ourselves to share our experiences, mentor up-and-coming graduates, and support our chapter as it grows.

We will be focusing on holding events to appeal to alumni of all ages and interests. Events will range from networking, sporting, cultural, culinary, technical, and academic events. Our goals include increasing alumni participation as a community, and also giving back to the Institute and our area.

Would you like to help organize an event, volunteer, communicate with alumni, and be part of the chapter leadership committee? Please reach out to me anytime, and I will do my best to answer your questions and support our evolving alumni community!

Feedback is important, so we want to hear from you! Please refer to our Facebook page and/or LinkedIn Group page for discussions and comments. Thank you for your interest, participation, and dedication to RPI.

I look forward to meeting you as we strengthen the participation of the Delaware Valley Chapter, and provide fun networking experiences for you all and to experience more of the great region we live in.
