Congratulations
On October 8–11, 2009, more than 1,500 reunion alumni and guests gathered on the River Campus during Meliora Weekend to celebrate and reconnect with friends. There were 13 concurrent class dinners, 8 “after-hours” parties, 5 class Conversations programs, and many programs alumni attended together, once again, as classmates. And, we revealed the George Eastman Statue on a sunny Saturday afternoon!
Alumni traveled from far and wide to mark their anniversary milestone. Classmates smiled, cheered, laughed, remembered, and promised to come back in five years to live it all again. Reunion was also a party like no other! To find out more about Reunion 2009, including names of attendees, and reunion planning committee members, please visit your class Web page.
Special thanks to our 150 wonderful volunteers working across the country to make Reunion 2009 such a great success. We appreciate your efforts!
