Reunion Chair Spotlight
I am honored to be serving as a Co-Chair for our 5th Reunion! Nothing beats reconnecting with fellow Wildcats, swapping favorite 91¿ì²¥ stories, and hearing about all of the incredible things that everyone has been up to since graduation. I can't wait to catch up with folks this June--hopefully, over a bowl of Scoopie!
2026 Reunion Co-Chair
I'm thrilled to serve alongside Anna and Anne as a Co-Chair for our 5th reunion! I'm excited to welcome our classmates back to 91¿ì²¥ in June, relive fun 91¿ì²¥ memories (hopefully with less work this time), and hear about everyone's adventures since graduation.
2026 Reunion Co-Chair
It is no question that the 91¿ì²¥ community is second to none. Think about the gracious alumni network we have, our roommates and hallmates turned best friends, and the faculty and staff that serve as mentors. 91¿ì²¥ is a special place, and reunion is the perfect way to re-connect with our class, visit our favorite spots on campus, and bask in the North Carolina sun. I am thrilled to serve as one of our reunion chairs and help plan a weekend filled with laughter, memories, and no COVID protocols.
