Greetings 1960s graduates,
How do you like the new look of the Campus Connection? When you opened it you probably thought it was something new from Friends. Well, the old has become new and you’ll find more “stuff” in this new edition. I think you’ll like it and it remains another tool that Friends uses to stay in touch with all the graduates - old and new. Recently I ran into a fellow Friends University graduate of the ‘60s. He told me that he hadn’t read so many books in a summer as he has in this one. The heat is affecting us all in a variety of ways. Hopefully by the time you read this, we’ll have had a break in the weather and we can once again go outside and actually enjoy being there. Hooray for air conditioning!

Read about Homecoming 2011 inside!
A new school year has started and at Friends University a new President will be strolling the halls. Dr. T.J. Arant began his tenure on July 1 and has been getting himself acquainted with the grounds, buildings, staff, faculty and students. That’s a lot to get acquainted with in a short amount of time. Everyone seems genuinely excited for this new leadership.
Homecoming will be held Saturday, Oct. 1. The class of 1961 will commemorate its 50th year and the class members who are working on this reunion are hoping that many of you will come back to “suffer a serious epidemic of nostalgia.” It’s so easy to attend a class reunion. The food is done for you. The place for your reunion is set up for you. There are mementos all around - set up for you. YOU just need to get yourself to the Friends campus and to the main floor of the Davis Administration Building, where the old library used to be when you were a student. From there, you will be escorted around campus and to events and just treated real special. You will be so glad you came. Nostalgia is contagious but cured by being in the presence of others. More information about a special open house hosted by the 50th class reunion committee on Friday, Sept. 30, can be found on page 2. Our lives can be hectic and time slips away so stay in touch with those you love and us.
