Three classes gathered on campus in October to mark their half-century reunions. Alumni from locations across the country, including California, Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Virginia as well as the Northeast, made their way to Poughkeepsie to reconnect with classmates, faculty, and members of the greater Marist community. Fifty volunteers served from one to three years on their respective reunion planning committees, reaching out to friends old and new. “Zoom” became a welcomed resource. The weekend featured receptions, campus tours, a football game, a tailgate, and a gala dinner. The Classes of 1970 and 1971 met their inaugural scholarship recipients, and the Class of 1972 launched its scholarship drive. Alumni who could not travel to the Hudson Valley were remembered through the many stories shared. A memorial service celebrated the lives and friendships of classmates. Deans provided updates on academic programs and new initiatives, underscoring the College’s commitment to providing an excellent liberal arts education. The campus offered spectacular views from all points—with smiles all arounhe Class of 1971 at their 50-year reunion
