GreetinGs From the ChAnCellor

Your college Reunion is a very special milestone. It is a wonderful opportunity to renew friendships and share memories old and new with your family, friends and classmates.

Members of your class are invited to join us for Commencement Weekend in May. We have planned a great celebration with social and intellectual activities for everyone and every

interest. In honor of its 50th Reunion, the Class of 1963 will be recognized at a special Medallion Ceremony in Graham Chapel and participate in Commencement.

You will find changes on the Danforth Campus since you graduated, but the generous spirit of the Washington University community will never change. Your Reunion Class Gift is an opportunity to help today’s students have the kind of premier learning experience that meant so much to you. I hope you will give back by participating in your Class Gift today.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Washington University. Please make plans now to attend your Class Reunion this May.

Sincerely,

Mark S. Wrighton 14th Chancellor of Washington University
