Fellow Classmates,
We are delighted to share the wonderful news that — in addition to our virtual reunion this Spring — the University has now agreed that, barring a second existential crisis, the Class of 1971 “will be welcomed on campus in Spring 2022.” At this point we do not have a confirmed date. We have heard over and over again from you that the in-person time with classmates is the most important aspect of reunion to you. For this reason, planning for our time on campus will focus largely on social activities. We will still deliver most of our formal Class Program virtually this Spring, preceded by the delivery of a truly outstanding Class Book sometime in March.
Tapping into our incredibly accomplished roster of classmates, including artists, scientists, musicians, public servants, educators, and activists of all stripes, we have put together four super panels/discussions. You will see some familiar faces but many surprises as well as possible guest appearances by faculty. In addition, we will have a presentation on survey results and a Class Memorial Service. We expect that the bulk of these programs will take place virtually during the first week of May so as not to conflict with the University-wide virtual reunion June 4th and 5th.
We will get back to you with exact dates and times for all activities as soon as they are available.
Best,
Bob Bruner and Lupi Robinson (Reunion Chairs)
Andy Kaufman (Class Secretary)
Bill Primps (Class Treasurer)
