Dear Alumni,

I am very pleased to announce to you our partnership with Right Management Consultants, Inc., a world leader in career transition services. As you may be aware, transition services historically have been unavailable for retail purchase by individuals.Instead transition service providers have typically chosen to work exclusively with corporations. Clearly this arrangement leaves those who do not receive transitions services as part of their outplacement packages at a significant disadvantage in the job market. Recognizing this, we joined with Right Management Consultants, Inc. in partnership to make their services available to Darden alumni at an affordable price.

Right has agreed to partner with us, in an unprecedented arrangement, to provide Darden alumni with access to world-class transition services. Alumni can purchase, on a menu-basis, services ranging from total assistance, including the full use of office space in any of Right's 200 world-wide offices, to self-assessment testing and counseling.

For Darden alumni who are transitioning between jobs, and for those who are currently employed but would like to access these resources in anticipation of their next career change, the benefits of a partnership such as this are tremendous. To learn more about the services offered by Right Management Consultants, Inc. visit their site at http://www.right.com .

Additionally, if you would like to speak with someone in the ACS office about the services offered by Right, please email Mindy Rynbrandt, RynbrandtM@darden.gbus.virginia.edu or myself CrowderH@darden.gbus.virginia.edu or call (800)Darden3.

Sincerely,
