  2. provide former members of the Daily Cardinal Staff an opportunity to reconnect with their colleagues and contribute to the ongoing success of the newspaper;
  3. cooperate with the Wisconsin Alumni Association in promoting the best interests of students involved in the Daily Cardinal as part of their on-campus experience.
