2018 Founders Reception: we’ve got the photos!

The 2018 Founders Reception fell on October 25; it’s possibly our favorite event because we hear wonderful stories and have the opportunity to host reunions for alumni of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, some of whom who haven’t been back on campus since they graduated.

Photos are below:
