Welcome to the NEW Shimer College Alums and Friends home page. Look around. You'll notice something new - a Quick Topics bulletin board. It's a new way for us to keep the conversation going. We're hoping you'll use it to reconnect with your Shimer pals, organize activities, ask questions.

It's part of our plan to use these new technologies to build an extended community - whether you're in Chicago or Karachi, New York or New Guinea, whether you're a prospective student, a grad, a parent or just interested in the world of the Great Books.

So, let the conversation begin.
