Welcome  

Whether you are celebrating a milestone graduation anniversary or not, please make your plans now to join us for Reunion Weekend 2009. There are lots of new activities to help us celebrate our professional roots here on the MCV Campus of VCU.   Reunion Weekend always draws a good number of alumni, so it is a great time to catch up with old friends and make many new connections.  It is coming up soon -- Friday, April 24 through Sunday, April 26 -- so make your plans quickly. You can sign up here.
 
We have asked Dr. Robert Clifton, emeritus dean of student affairs for the MCV Campus to provide a tour of the campus with special emphasis on the new wonderful green space that we are now enjoying. We’ll be honoring Dr. Harry Bear and Dr. George Burke with the MCV Outstanding Alumnus Award and the Hodges-Kay Service Award  respectively at our Annual Meeting on Saturday, April 25 in the Omni Richmond Hotel Ballroom.  See a listing of all of the other weekend’s honorees here.    Most of the schools on campus will provide you with a chance to visit with all the other returning alumni from your school, and an opportunity to gather just with your classmates.  See the entire weekend schedule here.

I wish a hearty congratulations to our esteemed class of 1959 and look forward to inducting them into the Grand Alumni Society during the weekend as they celebrate their 50 year anniversary. 
 
And finally, a special thanks to the 5,000 alumni who proudly carry around their membership card for the MCV Alumni Association. I would like to challenge each of you to recruit five new members to join our organization to further strengthen our voice on campus. We continue to enhance the benefits of membership which in many cases more than pay for the cost of membership. You can join here.  Check our updated Web site  in the months to come  as we introduce new features to help you stay connected to your classmates, your school and your university.
