Attend
Your Class Reunion and Renew Old Friendships
How long
has it been since you walked across the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan
College? Each October during Homecoming, reunion classes gather to reconnect
with classmates and remember  the
years they spent together as students. This fall will be no different
as alumni in the classes of 1960, 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990,
1995, and 2000 come together at special reunion events. In addition
to individual class events on October 21st and 22nd, another opportunity
for the classes to reunite occurs at the alumni banquet on Saturday
evening, October 22. The banquet is a celebration time for all alumni
who attend Homecoming. It also is the time each reunion class is recognized,
its class chair presents a symbolic check for all gifts made by that
class, and the classes compete for the highest alumni gift participation
rate.
Leading
up to the Homecoming weekend, the reunion class chairs stay busy contacting
classmates. Often with the help of other class members, the reunion
chairs are able to make personal contacts with a large percentage of
the class encouraging their attendance and gift participation. Each
class strives to be recog nized
as #1 in event attendance and class gift participation. This year, the
class with the highest alumni gift participation rate will receive a
special award.
Reunion
class chairs and the current alumni participation percentage for each
class is listed below.
1960 Carol
Simons Weissmann 26%
1965 Tom Brzezinski 20%
1970 Fred Leasure 21%
1975 Bill Grant 15%
1980 Michael and Susan Miller Aloi 15%
1985 David Ford 10%
1990 Rob Gifford 7%
1995 Dustin Bush 12%
2000 Protima Advani 9%
