REUNION This year’s Reunion alumni — those in classes ending in a 2 or a 7 — were treated to a weekend full of reminiscing and reconnecting with friends and classmates. The festivities began with Friday night class receptions at venues around town, and the excitement continued on Saturday with the annual Fun Run, a walking tour of campus, the Taste of Fairfield and Stags BeerFest, and Mass in the Egan Chapel. On Saturday evening, members of the Class of 1992 celebrated their milestone 25th Reunion with a champagne toast, and the night concluded with dinner under the tent on Bellarmine Lawn, where alumni danced the night away. Also celebrating on campus that weekend were the University’s Golden Stags, those alumni who graduated more than 50 years ago. These most seasoned alumni took part in many of the Reunion activities during the day and then had their own special dinner in the Dolan School of Business on Saturday evening. The University partnered with a number of alumni-owned businesses throughout the weekend, including Brennan’s Shebeen (Mike Brennan ’96), Milford Soft Serve (Pat Cole ’95), Black Hog Brewing Company (Mike Egmont ’95 and Tom Sobocinski ’14), DJ International (Joe Polletta ’11), The Cheese Truck (Tom Sobocinski ’14), and also with Lindsay Bacchiocchi, the daughter of two alumni and owner of the Keep ‘em Rollin’ food truck. A highlight of the weekend was the interactive photography provided by Pretty Instant at the Taste of Fairfield and Bellarmine Dinner.
