Since that initial effort, TD, as it is affectionately called, has grown substantially in size and reputation. Today, there are 700 TD students on campus. Graduates of the highly successful program include professors, business executives, teachers, nurses, engineers, and more. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Aug. 16, some of those approximately 1,200 alumni will attend the 35th Talent Development Reunion at the Rhode Island Convocation Center in Providence.
