Old friends and new await you during fun-filled Reunion Weekend! April 19-21
Last year’s Reunion Weekend was a family
affair for SOP alumnus Thong Tran of
Herndon, Va., who celebrated his 10th
reunion.
Reunion Weekend 2013 is just around the corner, but it’s not too late to register! Here are the links you might need: full schedule of events, registration, hotel information and a list of who’s signed up so far. Note: If you don’t see your old roommates’ names on the list, they might be planning to attend only specific events or might have made arrangements on their own. Give them a call and find out!
All alumni are welcome to join the celebration, but those whose classes end in “3” or “8” are especially encouraged to visit their alma mater. As always, schools on the MCV Campus will share some events, while others will be specific to the School of Pharmacy.
If you haven’t been to Richmond lately, you’ll want to take time to visit the campus and all your old haunts. Some parts won’t be recognizable; others will probably look like they did in the ‘50s and ‘60s.
Let the reuniting begin! Among the optional events available to all alums are Richmond Landmarks Segway Tour, River District Historic Canal Cruise, MCV Campus History and Garden Tour, MCV Motors Antique Car Show and MCV Then and Now, a discussion of Medical College of Virginia history led by Tompkins-McCaw Library historian Jodi Koste.
