CREATIVE CLASS CONNECT

Due to the pandemic Guilford College was unable to host Homecoming and reunions on campus this year. But reunion class committees and staff in the Office of Advancement got creative with mini-reunions for classes at fiveyear intervals going back to 1970. All of these Virtual Class Meet-Ups were held on Saturday, Oct. 10 throughout the course of the day. This date was originally scheduled to be the in-person Homecoming, so we are especially grateful that our reunion classes were able to connect with one another and mark these milestones virtually.

These class meet-ups were meaningful touch points for many of our alumni. Maggie Blair ‘00 said, “We had such a wonderful time. I feel so connected to those friends, even the ones I didn't know well during my time at Guilford.”

Reunion classes celebrated on these calls in many different ways. Some classes decided to show slideshows featuring old yearbook photos, while others used this time to debrief a Guilford Zoom event held earlier in the week. Others simply chose to talk and catch up on each other’s lives. No matter how they celebrated, everyone had a great time with their classmates and are looking forward to seeing each other to celebrate at Guilford come 2021.
