I would like to thank the Dalhousie School of Information Management Associated Alumni for hosting last night’s very successful and enjoyable reception.  Special thanks to event organizers Jessica Babineau, Elinor Crosby, Sara Kneževi?, Jenn Mitton, and JoAnn Watson.  We had two video presentations from Jessica Babineau and Jenn Reid, who could not be with us.  Jessica welcomed everyone and paid tribute to Patrick Ellis, the 2012 Alumnus of the Year.  Jenn encouraged the audience to contribute to the Stephanie Downs Memorial Award and made a very touching tribute to Steph. Patrick provided us with an enjoyable insight into the nature of his work and the various projects in which he has been involved, and served as an inspiration to all the students present.  I very much look forward to next year’s event.
