The November 2014 Reunion was a smashing success. Nearly 500 alumni and friends joined us to celebrate during the course of a memorable weekend. We enjoyed talks by beloved faculty and thought-provoking discussions about legal issues and current events with fellow alumni; walked down memory lane at the Friday night Bar Review; and gathered for one of the best attended Saturday evening dinners ever at the Ritz-Carlton. We also reminisced, reconnected, and shared stories about life since our law school days.

My Class of 1984 assembled and distributed a fantastic Reunion Book in which classmates described their lives, families, careers, and, of course, their days at BC Law. Classmates from across the country socialized with one another all weekend and well into the night on Saturday.

Other highlights included a special celebration of the Center for Experiential Learning, the Alumni Assembly with featured speaker US Attorney Carmen Ortiz, a Dean’s Council reception for members of the Law School’s leadership gift societies, and time to enjoy autumn in New England together at the Head of the Charles.

To mark this milestone, many alumni were inspired to make a personal gift as well as to encourage classmates to do the same. The results were impressive. Overall, the reunion classes raised more than $2.3 million. The Class of 1979 raised the most, with gifts and pledges totaling $1,094,295, while the Class of 1974 broke a record for 40th reunions, raising $471,183. The Class of 1964 achieved the highest participation with a rate of 42 percent.

Reunion 2015 planning is well under way. So far more than 300 alumni have joined the “Hope to Go” list. If you are in a class ending in 0 or 5, please email amanda.angel@bc.edu to add your name to the list today. If it is anything like my reunion weekend, you will enjoy a marvelous, fun-filled time that you will never forget.
