Mr. Aleksandar Mihailovic

Dear Mr. Mihailovic,

Jacksonville University is celebrating its 75th Anniversary. To help commemorate the occasion and shine a national spotlight on our University, a blue-ribbon panel of alumni and friends has convened to identify 75 of our most distinguished alumni and staff - our 75 "'Distinguished Dolphins." It is my distinct honor to inform you that you have been selected as one of Jacksonville University's 75 Distinguished Dolphins.

A Distinguished Dolphin is an individual who has added significant value to the Jacksonville University brand, and demonstrated a high level of professional success and personal integrity.

In the coming months, we will launch a national communications campaign surrounding our Distinguished Dolphins. This campaign will coincide with the school's 75th Anniversary events and will help us not only spotlight our Distinguished Dolphins, but also tell the story of Jacksonville University. Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton will issue a formal proclamation, and our Web site, www.ju.edu, will feature information about all of the Distinguished Dolphins. We will be incorporating social media elements as well, utilizing our Facebook and Twitter profiles.

We will be sending you a commemorative booklet with information on all of Jacksonville University's 75 Distinguished Dolphins in the coming weeks. As you will see, your stories demonstrate the lasting impact that you've made on your JU community, region, nation and the world.

Again, congratulations on your selection as one of Jacksonville University's 75 Distinguished Dolphins. You represent what makes our University such a special place. If you haven't visited JU recently, I encourage you to do so. I believe you will be pleased with our exciting progress and plans. Please call me anytime - I would love to hear from you and give you a personal tour.

Dr.  Kerry Romesburg
President, Jacksonville University
