50th Reunion Weekend
Reunion Weekend usually boasts the largest Reunion attendance for the class since Commencement. Many alumni return to campus for the first time since graduation and leave with renewed friendships and special memories.
Here’s why you should attend:















The Social Committee plans unique events for the class on Thursday and Friday, giving alumni extra time to reconnect before the main Reunion festivities. 乐播传媒 also hosts several events for the class, such as an exclusive 50th Reunion Friday breakfast with the President and the Saturday alumni parade and gala.
Be part of crafting an unforgettable weekend!
