All the classes ending with 1s and 6s celebrated their 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, and 80th reunions. From Reunion class zero (Class of 2011) all the way to Reunion 80th Class all were present. Two members of the Class of 1931 celebrated their 80th reunion on campus. This is a true demonstration of the Big Red Spirit that stays with us throughout our lives. This year close to 7,000 alumni and family attended the reunion- the second- highest reunion attendance at Cornell. Everyone kicked off their reunion weekend with a class registration at their designated spot, and mine was at Risley Hall. Arriving at Ithaca by car, as I passed by Collegetown bagels, Buffalo Street, and ending at Tower road, it seemed like school was just yesterday. Ithaca was as gorgeous as ever, instead of snow and sleet, the campus was filled with sunshine and a light breeze. The roads and buildings were where they always had been, but now were neighbored by quite a number of newly built infrastructure and extensions. These new glass-wrapped developments stood out from the rest of the brick wall architectural facade, from the engineering quad and the Statler Extension on Central Campus, all the way from CALS to North Campus. Friday was a relaxing day as people slowly settled in. The night ended with a glee club concert at Bailey Hall and an all-alumni event at the Arts Quad where you could see more of the younger alumni catching up and drinking beers on the Arts Quad. Saturday started bright and early as I kicked off the day with breakfast with the Dean of Hotel School and a brief tour around the premises. It was not until I noticed all the new additions, from campus-wide wireless internet to televised lecture halls. Throughout the weekend the main events were captured with live streaming on Facebook, this is a real illustration of how digital media has changed interaction between the school, students and alumni. Around noon time President Skorton delivered his informative yet light hearted speech as he tried to update all alumni with the school's developments and changes. After that I took the liberty of climbing up to the bell tower and managed to capture a series of photographs on the top overlooking Cayuga lake, Willard Straight Hall, the Johnson School, Olin Hall and the Arts Quad. An Ithaca trip would never be complete without visiting the plantations, Wegmans, and the Buttermilk Falls. Taking a quick scenic road trip around campus and the surrounding area, time flew by in a glance. My class dinner took place at Robert Purcell Community Center (formerly known as RPU). It was a dressed-up version of a Cornell dining hall experience and we took our meals on white tablecloths with red napkins. Last but not least a great way to end the weekend was attending the Cornelliana Night where Chris Marshall delivered his humorous and memorable closing remarks, a brilliant performance of the Glee Club, the Chorus and the Hangovers. The music groups were all a combination of current students and Alumni from different reunion classes. All Cornellians joined together to sing and cheered as we all remembered songs of Cornell. Short yet memorable, the weekend was a great reminder of the fun and spirited schoolmates we always had and the bonding that brings all Cornellians together. GO BIG RED! I am sure there will be many more amazing reunion stories to share in the years to come. Quarterly Newsletter ~ 2Q 2011 Visit us at www.cornellclub.org.hk Inquiries please email [email protected].

    REUNION 2020 HERE IN SPIRIT Cornell celebrates its first-ever ‘virtual Reunion’ REMOTE, YET CLOSE: Student singers from the Glee Club and Chorus n June, more than 10,500 alumni from the classes of 1937 (above) join their voices on Cornelliana Night. Below: The weekend’s to 2020 participated in Reunion—a record-breaking turn­ events included (clockwise from top left) a book reading by Arts & out. Attendees enjoyed a Chimes concert, a tour of the Sciences Dean Ray Jayawardhana, reminiscences by well-known alumni I including Kate Snow ’91, a teach-in on racism and social justice, and a Botanic Gardens, class happy hours, and much more. tour of the Vet college. Opposite page: Scenes from the “virtual 5K.” And they did it all online. For the first time since World War II, Reunion wasn’t held far above Cayuga’s waters. Following the University’s transition to remote instruction and the postponement of Commencement due to the coronavirus pandemic, Alumni Affairs announced in late March that this year’s gathering would be virtual. “Initially there was some skepticism, particularly from those who had experienced an in-person Reunion,” notes Kate Freyer, director of Reunion and volunteer engage­ ment events. “It was hard to imagine those connections feeling the same way over a screen.” But by the end of the weekend, she says, the feedback was overwhelm­ ingly positive—and thanks to the virtual format, many alumni who wouldn’t have been able to travel to Ithaca for logistical or health reasons were able to participate. “While Cornellians certainly missed campus, I think this experience opened a lot of people’s eyes to the idea that connecting isn’t just in a place,” Freyer says.

We each have opportunities to positively contribute to Cornell’s culture of wellbeing as we celebrate our colleagues’ life events, support one another during difficult times, share resources, and find creative approaches to how, where, and when work gets done.

Among other topics, Webb advised that he was the last survivor of the three “Bronxville Boys” who came to Cornell in 1950 from that village in Westchester County. They roomed together as freshmen, joined Delta Upsilon together and remained close friends through graduation and beyond. They even sat side by side in the 54 Cornellian’s group photo of their fraternity. Boyce Thompson, who died in 2009, worked for Pet Milk in St. Louis for a few years after graduation and later moved to Dallas where he formed and ran a successful food brokerage specializing in gourmet mixed nuts. Ever the comedian, his business phone number (after the area code) was 223-6887, which made the letters BAD-NUTS. Thankfully, his customers did not figure it out.
