A Call for Submissions: The First-Ever Saint Rose Alumni Gift Guide

Does your business have a product or service that would make a great holiday gift, or do you know another Saint Rose graduate who does? Tell us about it.

We are seeking recommendations for the first annual Saint Rose Alumni Gift Guide. The guide is a way to showcase businesses owned by Saint Rose graduates, allowing our network of alumni to show support for each other through their holiday shopping.

The guide will spotlight alumni and their products or services, while offering a listing of the others. The dozen featured products/services will be a sampling, selected in order to highlight a range of business owners (showing a variety of degrees, regions, etc.) and price-points.

To submit a suggestion, please email Irene Kim at kimi@strose.edu. You must include:

• Name
• Degree and graduation year
• Name and location of your business
• A description of the featured item or service, including a sentence of why the item or service would make a great gift
• Purchase information: website, store address, and/or phone number
• At least two sentences on what inspired you to start your business
• At least two sentences on how Saint Rose helped shape your career
• A photo of the featured product
• A headshot (can be a photo taken with a smartphone)
• Telephone number where we can reach you (not for publication)

The guide will be published in our December alumni newsletter. All submissions must be received by 5 p.m. November 17.
