2014 CelebratingReunion our Past, Creating our Future MAY 9TH THROUGH MAY 11TH GUIDE TO THE REUNION’S SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Greetings Hamptonians... Reunion Weekend 2014 is upon us. On behalf of the Office of Alumni Affairs and the entire Hampton University Family, I extend a warm invitation to classes ending in 4 and 9 to return to our beloved Home by the Sea on May 9 – 11, 2014. I extend special greetings to the Emeritus Class that returns every year and hearty congratulations to the Golden Class, Class of 1964, on celebrating your 50th Anniversary. Your reunion year is an opportunity to reflect on the impact Hampton has had on your life and reinforce a common sense of belonging to the Alumni Family. The Office of Alumni Affairs has partnered with your Reunion Class Leaders to create a weekend that is meaningful, memorable and provides many opportunities for you to reconnect and have fun! Reunion is also a natural rallying point for alumni to commemorate their time at Hampton by giving back. Celebrating our Past and Creating our Future – through giving – is a way to strengthen your class legacy while providing the next generation of Hamptonians the ability to receive an “Education for Life.” Therefore, I encourage you to relive the special emotions of being back at our Home by the Sea. You will be reminded of how extraordinary and special the Hampton experience has been, and still is, for all of us. We would truly be honored by your presence during Reunion Weekend. I look forward to welcoming you back in May. In the Hampton Spirit, Sharon Gates Fitzgerald • Class of 2005 • Director, Alumni Affairs The Hampton Reunion Weekend is our oasis of opportunity in the desert of our busy lives. At Hampton we can pause and reconnect with friends and classmates. Our reunion theme this year is “Celebrating our Past, Creating our Future”. Stroll the campus and get reacquainted with the place that made a permanent imprint on your life. Catch up with old friends and network. Please make time to attend the plenary session of the National Hampton Alumni Association, Inc. on Saturday morning. This meeting is open to all alumni and we welcome you. Remember when you walked across the commencement stage and you felt like you would conquer the world? You still can. Celebrate your college experiences in the company of your former classmates.
