Save the date for Reunion 2023 June 2-4 Celebrating classes ending 3 & 8. Everyone Welcome! (Reunion planning session summary linked to the Fall Weekend webpage) One WILSON… One Grand Reunion Together in 2022 June 1-5 (most activities June 3-5) This is a three-in-one cycle reunion: combining 2020 classes of 5&0; 2021 6&1; and 2022 7&2! 50th Class Celebrations for 1970, 1971 and 1972. An unprecedented opportunity to join with other classes with whom you don't usually share reunions. The weekend will present some challenges to create the sort of experience everyone wants and considers tradition. Due to increased numbers some things are going to be a bit different from prior years so the staff are busy working and communicating with class officers in the planning process. See tabs below for local lodging options, class specific information and more.
