ALUMNI UPDATE
Director Of Alumni Settles
Into New Role
Eleanor Shriver Magee '93
has made a smooth transition from the Athletic Department to
the Alumni & Parent Relations Office at Washington College.
In announcing Magee's appointment as director in July, Bill
MacIntosh, Vice President for Development and Alumni/Parent
Relations, remarked, "We are thrilled to have Eleanor and her
many personal and professional talents at the Alumni House.
We have re-energized our efforts to engage our students, alumni
and parents, and Eleanor is the perfect fit for these activities."
Magee guided the Alumni Council through its first meeting in
September and observed the Visiting Committee meeting in early
October. "The Alumni Council and Visiting Committee are critical
to the future success of the College," she said. "I am excited
to work with such supportive advocates of the College."
Magee
is also excited to launch new initiatives and with her staff
have developed a new Student Education and Engagement program,
which implements social and educational programs for current
students. The objective is to educate students early in their
college lives about the role of the Alumni House as they pursue
their goals for the future. The first event, an ice cream social
coupled with a College trivia question on Martha Washington
Square, proved to be a big hit. "The Alumni House is developing
a wonderfully cooperative relationship with SGA president Darrin
Brozene," she said.
Students are also central to the phonathon
campaign to raise money for the Annual Fund. "I am very pleased
by the work ethic and spirit the student callers have shown
while contacting alumni this fall," Magee said.
Another Magee
initiative, the Washington College Alumni and Parents Guide
to Upcoming Events, was mailed in October and details events
scheduled through May 2004, such as the Fall Family Weekend,
Birthday Ball, the George Washington 's Birthday Toast and Reunion.
Additionally, the College's website and the WC Extra on-line
newsletter have proven helpful in sharing information with alumni
and parents about College news and events. "Helping to strengthen
the College for the future, especially during this time of Presidential
transition, is very rewarding to me, and I look forward to reaching
out to all alumni, parents and friends of the College," Magee
said.

I-Fund Honors
Moag
The Independent College Fund of Maryland (I-Fund) presented
alumnus and College Trustee John Moag '77 with its Leadership
Award at the organization's September 2003 annual meeting. Moag,
whose efforts as Chairman of the Maryland Stadium Authority
brought NFL football back to Baltimore, was honored as a graduate
of one of Maryland's independent colleges who has been outstanding
in service to the community and a leader in his field.
Moag continued to serve this organization during the remainder
of the 2002-2003 fiscal year as the honorary co-chair of the
50th Anniversary Campaign for the IFund. This highly successful
campaign, which raised more money than ever for distribution
to the member colleges (College of Notre Dame of Maryland, Goucher
College, Hood College, The Johns Hopkins University, Loyola
College, McDaniel College, Mount St. Mary's College, St. Johns
College, Villa Julie College and Washington  College)
culminated with a celebration dinner at Johns Hopkins University
in September.
Moag graduated with a degree in political science from Washington
College and received his law degree from the University of Baltimore
in 1981. He worked as an assistant to Steny Hoyer, then President
of the Maryland Senate, and for Governor Blair Lee. After a
decade of legislative experience, he joined Patton Boggs, LLP,
as the youngest partner in the firm's history, and then became
vice president and director of Sports Investment at Legg Mason
Wood Walker. In 1995, Governor Glendening named Moag Chairman
of the Maryland Stadium Authority, a voluntary position with
responsibility for 100 employees and $1 billion in assets. In
addition to overseeing Oriole Park and the new football stadium,
Moag was involved in efforts to bring the 2012 Olympics to the
Baltimore/Washington area. He is now CEO of Moag & Company,
an investment banking firm exclusively serving sports and sports-related
industries.
In addition to his service on the Board of Washington
College, Moag sits on the Board at the University of Maryland
at Baltimore and is a member of the Union Memorial Hospital
Foundation.
