Can you believe that it’s been fifteen years already since we graduated from Cornell?  By now, we’ve all established ourselves firmly in our lives, and for many of us, our time on the hill is a very warm memory from almost half a lifetime away.  This summer we have the opportunity to head back to the university from which many of us set sail into the world to do our big things or our not so big things.

Reunion year brings alumni back from all over the world to catch up with old friends and see what Cornell has been doing with itself since we moved on.  It also gives us the chance to share our stories in the very landscape where they were formed with spouses, significant others, and children who may never have been there.

Please mark your calendar and join hundreds of your former classmates if you can in Ithaca late this springtime for our 15 year reunion!

Watch this space for updates!  We’ll post more information as it becomes available.

Update: Class of 1996 Reunion Headquarters will be on North Campus in Low Rise 9!

Also see Cornell’s Reunion 2011 website for information about local pre-reunion events, like the New York City Metro Area Pre-Reunion Happy Hour on Wednesday March 16 at the Cornell Club in Midtown NYC. Pre-registration is required due to capacity limitations (since ALL graduating classes with years ending in 1 or 6 are invited.)
