Class of 1970

Communications Vice President Geri Williams reports: “The Class of 1970 had a wonderful 55th Reunion in May with 118 class members and additional spouses and partners attending various events. About 50 women attended the Pembroke breakfast and enjoyed cranberry coffee cake and mimosas while catching up. The thought-provoking forum on the ‘Soul of the University’ with panelists Harold Bailey Jr., Ken Miller, and University Chaplain Janet Cooper Nelson, moderated by Rev. Peter Laarman, nearly filled Metcalf Auditorium with many classmates and members of other classes and generated many questions and answers. Our Saturday night clam boil dinner was a festive event and another great opportunity to catch up with classmates. One of the highlights of the weekend was the jubilant procession out of the Van Wickle Gates and down College Hill. A large, boisterous group of 1970 alumni marched together behind our banner with lots of signs reading “1970 Strikes Again.” We peeled off beside the Rock and cheered on all the younger classes and new graduates and then we were cheered on by all as the procession inverted. A loud and joyous event enjoyed by all. If you have any memories of the reunion or other information to share, send an email to me at [email protected].”
