Recap from 同学会 Weekend 2024
In April, nearly 900 alumni visited campus for 同学会 Weekend 2024. More than 30 events (most complimentary) were offered, starting with a Friday-morning program highlighting the very best of WWU, our 年度杰出校友, and the many scholarships awarded by alumni and donors like you! Friday also featured informative seminars, an alumni dinner in Kellogg Hall, and the ever-popular PRISM concert. Throughout the weekend we celebrated 50 years of social work majors, 社会学专业的学生, preprofessional alumni, and the 50th anniversary of Bowers Hall—pictured here is a group representative of the science types that taught or took a class in Bowers Hall, a group who attribute success in their careers to the start they got in Bowers Hall. Included in the group are 赫伯·拉森，79届 and one of the 年度杰出校友 2024, and a family representative of a well known chemistry graduate from 1939, Dr. 莱尔·詹森.
约翰·麦克维恩, the longest-serving president of WWU, spoke for our church service, and delicious food and fellowship followed in the largest restaurant in town (the Winter Educational Complex 校友 Gymnasium). Honor year classes gathered for reunions and captured their milestone in group photos.
The Class of 1984 pooled their talents to present a wonderful program in Village Hall on Saturday night. Invited dignitaries included cherished former faculty members and President McVay, who was feted with a clever blues-style farewell song.
Sunday's perfect weather helped alumni make the most of the Richard J. Kegley Memorial Fun Run/Walk, the Eugene Winter Golf Classic at Wine Valley Golf Club, and the 24th Annual 同学会 车展上.
