The Rites of Autumn
Once again, the weather cooperated for fall reunions with clear skies and mild temperatures welcoming alumni back to campus. On September 21-24, some fourteen hundred graduates and guests from the MBA Classes of 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970, and 1975 gathered at Soldiers Field to take part in academic sessions, check the progress of campus renovations, hear the latest on the School's initiatives from Dean Kim B. Clark, and, of course, catch up and network with each other.
Reunion giving was also noteworthy. By the time they'd gathered at Soldiers Field, two classes had already set new campaign records. The Class of 1960, for example, raised $3 million in honor of its 40th Reunion, while those celebrating their 30th Reunion, the Class of 1970, had raised close to $5.4 million.
