The kick-off for Reunion 2000 drew more than 200 alumni to campus for a day
of academic adventure. There was no homework or quizzes, but plenty of lively discussion. After a day of "classes" attendees were invited to the
Alumni Authors and Artists Exhibits and Opening Receptions where we celebrated the artistic and literary accomplishments of members of the
Classes of 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, and 1995. Next year's Alumni College will take place on Friday, June 8.
