| Reunion 2020: Save the Date and Volunteer |
|
Save the date for Reunion 2020: Thursday, June 4 through Sunday, June 7. If you are celebrating a milestone reunion (undergraduate class years ending in 5 or 0), help us make Reunion 2020 great by becoming a Reunion volunteer! Reunion volunteers are the most important component of the Reunion planning process. Alumni volunteers have the best insight into the kind of celebration their classmates enjoy and that can make a real difference in the quality of the experience. Learn more and volunteer to make Reunion 2020 a great occasion for all.

Last Word: Since we graduated so many decades ago, I've lived and worked in China, raised two wonderful children, and supported Asian studies research at Stanford and Harvard. Then my SLC artistic ideals kicked in: Chase your dream; be creative; never say, "I can't."
