Mark your calendar now so that you can join friends and former classmates for Catholic University’s most exciting weekend of the year! The 2009 Homecoming and Reunions Weekend will take place Oct. 23–24, 2009.
Did you graduate in 1959, 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999 or 2004? That makes you a member of our Reunions Classes! Whether it is your 10th, 25th or 50th reunion, come back home to campus to relive your memories, reminisce with classmates, and create new stories to share with your families and friends.
Attendance at the festivities last year was great; we want it to get even bigger this year! But we can’t do that alone. Your fellow classmates want to hear from you, not only from the alumni office. Please consider being involved as a Homecoming and Reunions Committee member.
To sign up, contact Meghan Comey, associate director of alumni relations, or call 202-319-5608.

Have you seen any of the following alumni?
Jacqualine Brooks, B.S.N. 1980
Bernadette Kerley, B.E.E. 1981

First-time visitors to the site will need to enter their security code (included in the e-mail copy of this newsletter).

As a CUA student, Paul Lotz, B.S. 1992, spent hours in the classroom mastering the finer points of electromagnetics. After class, he was a regular fixture at a number of campus ministry service projects and events.
