Encourage participation:
- Make a gift to the College Fund in honor of your 20th reunion. Your participation supports the traditions and rigorous liberal education of the College.
- Get in touch with friends, and make sure they’re coming back as well. If you’ve lost contact with someone, check out the online directory and send e-cards to boost attendance.
- Our reunion committee can use your ideas and energy. It won’t take much time, and you don’t need to live in Chicago—most planning is done by e-mail and conference call. Contact the Alumni Office at alumniweekend@uchicago.edu or 800/955-0065 if you would like to help.
Stay connected:
- Send in your news to your class
correspondent. Watch the class
column for updates on reunion throughout the year.
- The University doesn’t have contact information for a few of your classmates, and we need your help to find them. We want to make sure everyone knows about the reunion.
