Reunion Fun

Reunion 2007 rocked, folks.  You know how people are always talking about how unique and individualistic SLC alumnae/i are?  When you put those unique individuals together -- whether talking about coral reefs around a seminar table, listening to Michele Myers and Karen Lawrence discuss the College's future over breakfast, or dancing in the gorgeous United Nations dining room -- you're in for surprising connections, absorbing conversations… and one heck of a fun party. 

One Mead Way, the online community of SLC alumnae/i, is your source for the inside story on Reunion.  Find out which classes won the Westlands Reunion Awards.  Check out photos of the festivities -- or post your own Reunion photos. 

Couldn't make it to Reunion?  See what you missed on Friday and Saturday, or have your own virtual Reunion by finding your classmates and chatting on the discussion boards. 

Save the Date!

Reunion 2008 is already in the works, so mark your calendars for June 6-8.  If 2007 is any indication, it should be a blast.
