Reunion 2020 and 2021

While everyone missed the opportunity to gather in person on Williams Hill for reunions in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic, more than 400 alumni from classes ending in 0s, 1s, 5s and 6s participated in a virtual Reunion 2020 and 2021 on March 12-13. It included virtual class gatherings, a campus update, a chapel and memorial service, a campus tour, panel discussions, faculty-taught classes, videos and slideshows. Reunion committees worked hard to make the weekend special.

Some of the calls lasted for hours and allowed alumni to come together as a community during unusual times to celebrate their experiences, accomplishments and friendships on Williams Hill.
