NCE Class of 1954
50th Anniversary - CLASS REUNION
Friday-Saturday, June 12-13, 2009

On the weekend of June 12-13, 2009, our class will celebrate its 55^th Anniversary Class Reunion on NJIT's campus.  From everything we hear, the reunion weekend is always a great time. Besides, the “Old Guard” gets lots of special attention. 

Alumni Reunion Weekend will be a great chance to see former classmates, visit our old departments with the current departmental faculty, maybe attend an academic presentation or two, and probably make some new friends.  A few other classes will be celebrating their 5-year anniversaries including a 70^th for the Class of 1939 and a 5^th for the Class of 2004.  The weekend gets capped off on Saturday night with a terrific dinner party and seven-piece band to play our favorites until midnight.

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.

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 June 13th, 2009!
