For their 50th, 55th and 60th Reunions, the class’ Reunion Activities and Class Gift Committees reached out to every classmate, extending a Reunion invitation and encouraging them to participate in the class gift. They also held yearly mini-reunions that led to camaraderie and lasting friendships amongst the classmates, even though they may not have known each other while at Brown and Pembroke. In addition to their in-person gatherings, regular newsletter and email communications keep the class up to date and connected to Brown. The quality, variety, and creativity of their consistent outreach has fostered a spirit of inclusion and connection that has risen to an exceptional level.

The Class of 1963’s leadership in these areas has been a source of inspiration to their fellow alumni and is an invaluable asset to the Brown community.
