2007 Reunion Brochure
Classes ending in "2" or "7" will celebrate a special reunion.
Class of 2002 will celebrate its 5th reunion during Homecoming 2007 in October.
CELEBRATE!
Come back to campus and celebrate Mary Washington’s distinguished past and bright future. Celebrate our traditions, our history, and our growth, take pride in your connection as an alumnus, and recapture the strong sense of community that prevails throughout the campus.
Reunion Weekend offers a variety of opportunities to experience this unique connection. Faculty lectures will pull you back into the classroom. Student-led campus tours will bring you up to date with the University in the 21st Century. Receptions and class gatherings will help you turn back the clock and re-live your time at Mary Washington.
In response to requests for more “reunion time,” we’ve added class dinners on Friday evening, and an expanded reunion picnic featuring a huge tent over Palmieri Plaza, with designated areas for reunion classes.
BRING YOUR KIDS! On Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., we’ll offer activities for children on Ball Circle, including inflatable games and moonwalks.
You and/or your guests can enjoy golf or tennis while you’re back. Click here for more information.
Learn about what the future holds for Mary Washington: you’ll see that changes are underway, from a new bell tower and a new parking deck to the beginnings of the renovation of Ann Carter Lee Hall. You’ll notice some modular units and temporary fencing that are in place to accommodate some campus operations during facility renovation.
Reconnect with your alma mater…renew your old friendships…recapture your memories. Most importantly, come back and revisit the places and the relationships that formed your Mary Washington experience.
