UCSC Reunion Weekend 2009
Friday, April 24 through Sunday, April 26 Reunion Weekend 2009 kicked off on Friday night with a packed house at the Cocoanut Grove in Santa Cruz to hear
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Intellectual Forum address.
On Saturday, the UCSC Alumni Association Awards for 2009 were presented, and a host of more than 40 events took place across campus.
At the first ever All Alumni Reunion Picnic
hundreds of alumni and friends gathered to reconnect with each other
and celebrate the contribution made by graduates celebrating their 5-
through 40-year reunions who donated more than $745,000 to the school's
annual Reunion Weekend fundraising drive, far exceeding the campus's
goal.
Pioneer Class members and Young Alumni
alike responded to the reunion weekend theme of “Our Environmental
Destiny” that resonated throughout.
Thanks to all who joined to make this a wonderful gathering of UC Santa Cruz alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends!

Help create the reunion YOU want to attend in 2010!
Here's how: Reconnect. Go to the UCSC Online Alumni Directory, and invite your friends and
classmates to join you in returning to campus for your reunion in April. Reminisce. Search your photo albums, shoeboxes, and
other dark corners for pictures and other memorabilia from your days at UCSC.
Contact the Alumni Association and share your ideas for the reunion you'd like
to attend; then volunteer to help make it happen (see article below). Contact
Assistant Director Lynn Zachreson at lynnz@ucsc.edu, or call toll-free to (800)
933-SLUG, or locally, (831) 459-2530.
Consider making a reunion gift. This coming
fall, UCSC students from the Telephone Outreach Program will be contacting you
and your classmates. How did UCSC change your world? How is that important to
the world today? Your reunion gift will make a difference to today's students at
UCSC. You can give today at http://giveto.ucsc.edu/We look forward to seeing you in Santa
Cruz this April.
Why attend a reunion?
"It was not nostalgia. It was curiosity. I wanted to find out who all those
people who I had known so long ago had become. At a reunion, you discover that
there are people you barely remember, or who weren't on your radar screen at all
when you were in college, and they've become amazingly interesting while you
weren't looking."
-Betsy Buchalter Adler (Cowell '70), who attended the 1999 reunion of UCSC's
Pioneer Class
Pioneer Class reunion organizer Betsy Adler once said
that organizing a reunion can be "a burden or a pleasure, depending on the level
of staff support and on the nature of your fellow volunteers. Cowell and the
Alumni Association were a great help to us. With staff support and e-mail, it's
do-able." Once someone proposes a reunion idea, Alumni Association Assistant
Director Lynn Zachreson will help in every way she can. "If you can imagine the
reunion you'd like to attend, a simple phone call to the Alumni Association can
make it a reality," she said. Zachreson helps people put together a committee of
like-minded volunteer reunion planners. She publicizes the reunion on the web
and in print to reach out to potential participants, helps locate an event site
and caterer, provides organizers with seed funding and mailing lists, produces
and mails invitations, recommends local overnight accommodations, takes
reservations for alumni events, and more. Almost all reunions take place during
Reunion Weekend.To become a reunion volunteer, contact Lynn Zachreson toll-free
at (800) 933-SLUG or via e-mail at
lynnz@ucsc.edu.
