Our 70^th Class  Reunion is Fast Approaching!

Alumni Weekend is May 19-21, 2012 and  the class of 1942 will celebrate its 70^th class reunion on the university campus during that time.

The reunion aspect of the weekend will encompass every class that has graduated in a year ending in “2” or “7”, beginning with the class of 1932 and ending with the class of 2007.   It will offer a tour of the new campus, lectures and academic presentations, student capstone projects and art exhibits, networking and wine tasting events, plus the fun of reuniting with classmates and an opportunity to talk with students and alumni of all ages.  It all gets capped off on Saturday with the Alumni Awards Ceremony followed by a first class party.

If your mobility is somewhat limited or the memory of climbing all the stairs gives you pause, don’t let it keep you away.  The Office of Alumni Relations has a golf cart, and a cheerful student will drive you anywhere you want to go.  All of the buildings have elevators, and the facilities are all handicapped accessible.  We hear from our predecessors that the students and staff do an outstanding job of attending to everyone’s special needs.

Amazing changes have taken place on the campus since we graduated.  If you haven’t been back within the last few years, we can promise it will make you feel like Rip Van Winkle.  Our old campus has grown to 40 acres and now includes the Central High School building along with a modern student center, several dorms, a bell tower, a modern athletic center, and beautifully landscaped green spaces all over campus. The old Eberhardt Hall has been restored to 1880’s elegance and is now the Eberhardt Hall Alumni Center and home of the University Club.

An invitation including all the Reunion information will be mailed to you in January and the on line brochure will be available around the same time.

You can make your reservations by mail using the response card included in your invitation or you can make your reservation on line after the January mailing.

We hope to see you on the weekend of May 19, 2012!
