Reunion Weekend draws 450

The class of 2004

Joan and Pat Costello meet up with a couple of alumni from the 50th anniversary class.

A full weekend of activities drew 450 alumni and family during Reunion Weekend June 20-22. The energy from the weekend was high, and alumni were thankful for the opportunity to connect with each other and with the university. Attendees came from across the United States as far as Alaska and California. Honored were: Outstanding Young Alumnus - Nathan Semsch '04; Alumni Appreciation - Thomas Baryl '58; and Distinguished Alumnus - Paul Meyer '64, J.D.

Thanks go to all those who worked hard to prepare campus for these events. Together we are building important connections with our alumni community that strengthen our future. Go to www.smumn.edu/photos to view photos from the weekend.
