~Reunion 2021 Update~Dear Wilson Alumnae and Alumni:
After much deliberation and consultation with our 50th reunion classes of 1970 and 1971 and the AAWC board, the College will forgo all in-person reunion events this year June 3 – 6, 2021. Unfortunately, there is still quite a bit of uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the distribution of vaccines. This lack of clarity coupled with restrictions placed on event logistics by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania make hosting this year’s event challenging. Even if we were to host an in-person event, it would look and feel very different than what most of you have come to enjoy due to federal and state recommended health and safety precautions.
However, Reunion is an important tradition for our institution. We would be remiss if we did not pause and acknowledge some of the most cherished portions of our reunion schedule. Therefore, we will offer a variety of virtual events June 3 – 6. This virtual approach is not meant to replace our traditional reunion celebration but rather provide alums with an opportunity to engage with one another safely and learn the latest developments at the College. Rest assured, all of our reunion classes will be invited to campus and appropriately honored at Reunion 2022.
When finalized, our revised schedule of events will be shared online, via email, and printed in the next issue of Wilson Magazine. The College is making plans now to include the annual “State of the College” presentation by President Fugate, the annual AAWC meeting as well as voting for the slate of officers, the presentation of awards, and honoring the memory of those classmates who have recently passed. We are also working on some virtual social gatherings via class year and a few informative presentations.
This was not an easy decision to reach. And, we are certain many are disappointed. However, we must all stay vigilant in our efforts to stay healthy and keep one another safe.
Regards,
Wesley R. Fugate, Ph.D.
College President
Lynne E. DiStasio ‘74
AAWC President
