GREETINGS FELLOW HAMPTONIANS:

As we begin the 2008-2009 academic year, I am asking all Hampton University alumni to join our leadership team in embracing a basic belief, "Possibilities Unlimited." This means we are committing to believing "we can," acting " we will" and achieving "we did."

Possibilities Unlimited means that our:

• Attitude is positive
• Focus is on solutions
• View of the glass is half full
• Energy is directed toward succeeding
• Vocabulary includes can, will, did

Hampton University is first rate and deserves a first rate alumni association. It will take The Hampton Village to assist us in building a premier National Hampton Alumni Association, Inc. (NHAA, Inc). Over the coming year, we will be inviting Hampton alumni, students, parents, significant others, administration, faculty, staff, friends and partners to engage, support, and promote NHAA, Inc. activities, initiatives, and programs. Please, share your input and feedback with me at plarkinshicks@nhaainc.org.

We are counting on YOU to demonstrate your Hampton pride. Together, let us preserve the Hampton legacy.

"Yes, we can!"

Yours in the Hampton Spirit,

Patricia Larkins Hicks, Ph.D. ‘71
President, NHAA, Inc.
