Also spotlighted are the classes of 1933, 1938, 1943, 1948,1953, 1958, 1963, and 1968.
The Banquet also gives honor to the outstanding alumni chapters and to individuals who havedistinguished themselves during the year. We give them the recognition they so richly deserve fortheir productive efforts on behalf of our Association and our University.
Whether it’s called May Weekend, Alumni Weekend or Reunion Weekend, the weekend of May 9-11, 2008 can best be described as a Family Reunion Weekend. A momentous occasion – whenFamilies, Alumni and Friends return home.
