Class of 1985

Believe it or not, we graduated from college 40 years ago.  It seems like just yesterday that we were joining in on the Bundy cockroach races, making donut runs in the very early hours of the morning, or attending convocations in Carpenter Hall. To celebrate our 40-year reunion, please join us during Homecoming weekend from October 9-12, 2025.  Our reunion dinner will be held on Saturday, October 11. We hope to see you there!
