2021 Reunion Status
With the cancellation of an in-person Reunion in 2020, one possibility is that the Class of ’70 could join us or overlap with our Reunion next year. No definitive Reunion date will be determined until plans for the 2020-2021 academic year are solidified. We will keep you posted as these ideas develop.
Meanwhile, Alumni Relations staff and class volunteers are seeking opportunities for alumni to come together virtually—and, as soon as possible, in person. Watch for news in the coming months of Zoom Happy Hours, webinars featuring class speakers, and regional gatherings consistent with local conditions.

We’re back with more tales of campus flames that burned through the ages, including what may be the longevity record for love at first (slightly fuzzy) sight.

Signs of the Times
Who can forget the “Big Event” that brought us The First Edition, formerly the New Christy Minstrels? There’s more. Go down the memory hole.
