OCTOBER 21–24, 2 0 1 0 Registration Guide PRESENTED BY THE STANForD ALUMNI ASSOCIATION CONTENTS Schedule of Events pages 2-8 Classes Without Quizzes pages 9-11 Dear fellow alums, Whether you’ve been away from the Farm for five years Children and Reunion or fifty years, all it takes is a trip down Palm Drive to feel Homecoming as if you never left – and, once you’ve taken advantage of page 12 the many Reunion Homecoming events and programs detailed on these pages, I’m willing to bet that you won’t want to leave again. General Information page 13 Reunion Homecoming offers an incredible number of opportunities for you to both revisit your college years and rediscover the Stanford of today. But above all, this weekend affords you the opportunity to create your own opportunities. Make new memories. Learn something – no, many things – new. Raise a toast with classmates. Meet your future business partner. Take your family on a tour of campus. Watch the sunset over Lake Lag. Get to know generations of Brannerites, chemistry majors and Frisbee golfers. Laugh until the wee hours. Whatever you choose to do, this weekend is all about you – make it your own. Welcome home. Best regards, CONTACT US Howard E.
