Class of 1950

NCE CLASS OF 1950
LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR 60th CLASS REUNION!

On the weekend of Friday-Sunday, May 21st -23rd our class will celebrate its 60th anniversary with a class reunion on the university campus.  The reunion weekend will encompass every class that has graduated in a year ending in “5” or “0”, beginning with the class of ‘40 and ending with the class of 2005. The reunion weekend is always a great time, and, the “Old Guard” gets lots of special attention, so come and enjoy it with us.

We hear that some guys from the class of ’44 shut the party down last year, and we do not intend to be outdone by our elders!  Please be sure to save the date.

If your mobility ain't what it used to be, don’t let it keep you away.  Alumni Reunion Weekend parking will be plentiful on campus, the Office of Alumni Relations has a six-passenger golf cart shuttling folks about, 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 did 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 five years, we can promise it will make you feel like Rip Van Winkle.  Our old campus has grown to 40 acres.  There’s a striking new 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.  Cullimore, Campbell, and Colton Halls haven't moved an inch.  Neither has Central High School -- although it was just purchased by NJIT.

Alumni Reunion Weekend will be a great chance to see all this, talk to faculty, visit with former classmates and chat with your old classmates as well as other alumni of all ages and stages.  The weekend gets capped off with a Saturday night cocktail reception and dinner dance with a big band.  Planning for the reunion has already begun, and a brochure with all the information will be in your hands in late January.

You should already have received the Reunion Questionnaire in the mail.  If you haven’t already done so, please fill it out.  It will be of great help in our planning.  You can email it as an attachment to alumni@njit.edu or mail it to:

Office of Alumni Relations/Eberhardt Hall/ 323 Martin Luther King Boulevard/ Newark, NJ 07102

We hope to see you on the weekend of May 21st-23rd, 2010.
