Class of 2000 - 25th Reunion 

 

We can’t wait to see you all back in New Haven where we spent

“the shortest, gladdest years of life”. 

In addition to the lectures by Yale faculty and other reunion events planned by the university, we have planned a variety of events and activities just for our class -including a service project at Dwight Hall, a book and film fair featuring our classmates who are published authors and filmmakers, a class of 2000 kickball game, a stoplight singles mixer, and residential college meetups.  We will also hear from several of our classmates who will reflect on personal and professional setbacks, and the lessons they have learned from them, in a panel entitled: “When Life Throws You a Curveball”.  We have done our best to include activities and events that can appeal to everyone. 

On Friday night, we will have a rocking DJ who will take us back to they days of the Safety Dance under the tent in Old Campus.   On Saturday night, we will gather cocktails on Beinecke Plaza, an elegant class dinner in Commons, and more partying back on Old Campus under the tent with a live band after dinner.

If you have not already done so, please join the “Yale Class of 2000” Facebook group, https://m.facebook.com/groups/yale2000/ , which also has lots of reunion information.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your Reunion Committee Chairs, Ernest Morris (SM) and Ben Diamond (MC) at yale2000reunion@gmail.com
