WESTFIELD – The Westfield State Alumni Association will host its annual Reunion Weekend, two days of activities for Westfield State alumni, Saturday, June 21 through Sunday, June 22. All alumni are invited, but there will be specific activities and receptions for the Classes of 1964 and 1989, as well as alumni of Residential Life/Orientation Staff and the Urban Education program.
“Returning to campus for reunion weekend is like returning home,” said Kathi Bradford, director of Alumni Relations. “Seeing your classmates, spending time on campus, living in the residence halls with lots of laughter, memories, and fun…We hope our alumni will return and reacquaint themselves with our beautiful campus and remember the wonderful times they spent here.”
Reunion Weekend features many planned outings and activities. The Class of 1964 will have the option to take a shuttle to the Berkshires to visit the Norman Rockwell Museum. Alumni can take a tour of the campus to see the new construction and changes that have happened since their graduation. There will be an Alumni Store open in University Hall, Westfield State’s newest housing unit. Saturday afternoon features a Reunion Weekend BBQ with food, a cash bar, and entertainment. Following the barbeque will be “Cup Time in the Courtyard” featuring the music of “Just George,” a Westfield State alumnus singer.
Also featured will be a slideshow presentation for the Residential Life/Orientation Staff and a celebration dinner featuring music, dancing, a cash bar, an interactive photo booth, and a buffet. The weekend concludes on Sunday with a reunion brunch.
