2022 Recipient

Class of 1972

The Class of 1972 truly rallied around creating a signature experience for their recent 50th Reunion. Throughout the year, their extensive planning provided multiple opportunities for their classmates to engage with each other, including hosting virtual events to complement in-person gatherings. Of particular note is the extremely successful class virtual wine-tasting event, demonstrating 1972’s creativity and flexibility in providing special touchpoints to connect classmates back to Brown and to each other. The Class’s Reunion Weekend events were well-attended and participants thoroughly enjoyed the participation of the featured (and highly coveted) University faculty members Barrett Hazeltine ADE’66 hon., GP’06, GP’09, GP’15, Barbara Tannenbaum P’10, and Andy van Dam ADE’68 hon., P’86. Even though Reunion Weekend has passed, the Class is still putting in every effort to maintain strong connections among their peers as they plan a class trip through Brown Travelers in addition to new virtual programs and in-person events.
