Yale Class of '79
Hello classmates of a certain year...

Yes, it's that time AGAIN! For the sixth time since graduation, we will convene for a reunion, so please bring all gall bladder operation, hip replacement, and grandchildren stories to our 30th reunion -- May 28-31 2009.

This will be the first ever Cluster Reunion as we invite the classes of '78 and '80 to join us.

We are planning a continuous slide show during the reunion weekend with your photos – old photos from when we were undergrads, or photos of you and your families since graduation., whatever you want to share. So please dig up some old pics from back in the day, or some newer pics from days since the day and email .jpgs to Tom Marchioro, our Exalted Webmaster and technogenius, at yale.1979@gmail.com. If you have questions about how to do this, please email Tom.

Other reunion activities include:
  • a '79 Whiffenpoof concert
  • entertainment by Steve Skrovan
  • interesting classes and faculty presentations
  • an exhibition of Classmates' artistic works
  • talk by David Swensen (Yale's Chief Investment Officer) on current economic crisis
  • Camp Bulldog
  • activities for older children to learn about Yale
  • New Haven pizza
