Reunion Dates for Fall 2024!
September 17-19, 2024
The Class of 1959 committee would like to welcome you to attend the upcoming reunion on these new dates for your 65th reunion. Amazingly, our 65th DePauw reunion is just around the corner. We hope you’ll be able to return to Greencastle in the fall of 2024 so we all can celebrate those wonderful years so long ago plus our good fortune to be able to do so.
Your reunion committee decided that moving the reunion to the fall instead of during Alumni Weekend in June would allow us all to stay on campus at The Inn at DePauw, have bathrooms in our rooms, friends nearby, students back on campus, cooler weather, and not be just a small part of the larger Alumni Weekend.
