  • My expectations of the reunion events were surpassed! It was phenomenal. The activities were spot on to help me realize all the new things that are happening on campus to educate the next generation and how much those things are necessary. Having the students around was inspiring, and I wish we could have had more time with them during the day/event. I loved chatting with them during the awards reception.
