Connections That Run Deep
By Elisa Ludwig
Anyone who attends Alumni Reunion knows: there's nothing like seeing a friend
in person.
Alumni connections run deep,
as anyone who attends a reunion
weekend would attest. More often than not,
these connections extend beyond School events and into the
daily lives of alumni who have maintained friendships through
years of relocations, career changes, and major life events. Class
notes—which our readers admit they turn to first in each edition—provide
one way of keeping up with these changes. But,
as the individuals we profiled below indicate, there is nothing
like seeing a friend in person. (And, as in the case of Mark
Hodak, WG'86, and Theresa Boyce, WG'85, surprising new
connections can come out of these events as well.)
More than 1,000 alumni and guests came to Philadelphia in
May to participate in reunion. With plenty of sunshine, food,
opportunities to mingle and hear faculty speak, the weekend
served as the perfect backdrop for friends to come together after
spending time apart.
