Class of 1984<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Each autumn, Earlham hosts its Homecoming and Reunion Weekend. It has two names because it is meant to do two things. A homecoming is about nurturing our relationship to the place and community that is Earlham, and a reunion is about nurturing our relationships to and with each other as friends and classmates. For us as the Class of 1984, forty years is a long time. In the spirit of Homecoming, there\u2019s a whole new Earlham for us to discover today, but it’s still a place that provides a living and learning experience of higher education that is transformative. We\u2019re inviting you to come back and experience Earlham \u2013 and each other \u2013 anew. In October 1984, Stevie Wonder topped the charts with his best-selling single ever. Echoing him, and in the spirit of Reunion, we\u2019re just calling to say We Love You! Looking ahead now to October 2024, we invite you to connect: with each other, with our memories, with the place we called home. Also in October \u201884, the first move in a very successful franchise was released, and in it,  Schwarzenegger uttered a catch phrase that rings down through the years. We hope you are looking forward to our 40th<\/sup> Reunion at Earlham College and are saying about it, to yourself and your friends, \u201cI\u2019ll be back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
