Symposia Information: Suggested Pre-readings
"Glimpses," which will open our Sunday afternoon session at noon, will spotlight a cross-section of our classmates sharing personal stories in short presentations of five minutes or less. Rather than describing career accomplishments, these talks will focus on memories, discoveries, transformations, and obsessions. This event adds an element many of us want more of at Reunions, a chance to get to know each other in an atmosphere that doesn't emphasize accomplishments. Come and hear what's central to your classmates' lives.
Due to popular demand, we have added a new facet to the Sunday afternoon wine bar and open mic event—the first '68 Nonprofit Expo. If you are a board member, officer, or volunteer at a non-profit organization, you are invited to display informational materials, laptop videos, etc. for your organization and be a contact person for questions and expressions of interest by other classmates at the Sunday afternoon event. The Reunion Program Committee will provide table space for displays in the same area of the Knafel Center (formerly known as "the RadcliffeGym") where the wine bar and open mic are occurring so that classmates with displays can mix and mingle generally and not be tied to their display tables. As this is an inaugural event, we don't know what the turn-out will be, so if you interested in a display for your organization, please e-mail Eric Multhaup (mullew@comcast.net) so that we can provide adequate display space. Please note: the Reunion Program Committee will be supplying table space only, so if you are interested please make your own arrangements for any additional equipment you may need.
Once again we will be assembling a classmate choir to sing at the Memorial Service. Those of you who would like to sing with the choir at Reunion should be in touch with David Jost; please email him at dajebj@gmail.com.
