Come Celebrate at the Grand Reunion!
This Saturday, April 25, Cal State Northridge hosts the University’s 50th anniversary Grand Reunion. This community event represents the culmination of our year-long celebration of “50 years of life changing opportunity”!
I look forward to joining with alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends in celebrating the spirit and energy of the University, which has enhanced and influenced the lives of the region and so many students and community members throughout its 50 years.
In the largest gathering of alumni ever, several alumni reunions and special programs will be held to give old friends and peers an opportunity to come together and re-connect. These activities will include campus tours and exhibits.
This also will be a day of fun, food and festivity. As you will see at the schedule posted for the event, there are myriad activities and programs offered to appeal to everyone, including live entertainment and music, a barbeque dinner, a family-friendly kid zone, and wine tasting.
The Reunion begins at 4 p.m. and the party will go into the evening. The extended University family, including faculty, staff and students, are welcome to attend. Tickets include dinner and are still available—visit the website for details and to place an order. And if you cannot attend, a live webcast will be available at the website beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The outpouring of enthusiasm and support for the University that I have seen this anniversary year has reaffirmed for me the important role Cal State Northridge plays in the community and in creating opportunities for students. The Grand Reunion will be a wonderful way for us as a community to feel the energy of the campus and share our excitement and pride with others. I look forward to seeing everyone there!
