Reunion Weekend 2008

Earlier this month, Manhattan College welcomed home alumni from classes spanning the last 65 years to celebrate the139th Alumni Reunion Weekend. Trips to the Bronx Zoo, Botanical Gardens and Arthur Avenue were well attended as was the Young Alumni Celebration, all new additions to the program. A highlight of the weekend was the Saturday evening clambake on the Quadrangle, with approximately 300 people in attendance. Special Golden and Silver Anniversary celebrations were strongly represented by the class of 1958 and the class of 1983. “It was déjà vu all over again,” said Tom Bradley '58. “Visiting with the ‘older' gang, reliving war stories… it will always be remembered.” For more information on obtaining photos, please check the alumni website which will advise you when they will become available. The alumni relations team thanks everyone who attended and made the weekend a wonderful memory for everyone.
