1 reunion OF THE stars 2011 CHESTNUT HILL COLLEGE 65TH ANNUAL REUNION JUNE 3-4-5, 2011

2 bring your Camera! YOU LL HAVE LOTS OF STARS TO SNAP... LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO RECORD... AND LOTS OF MEMORIES TO SHARE, ONCE YOUR WEEKEND IS OVER! Come back to Chestnut Hill College this June for an exciting, eventful, and historic Reunion Weekend.

3 Activities and events? We have plenty. Reunion Weekend is so much more than Reunion Luncheon. You ll find a variety of activities and events to keep the weekend interesting, whether you want to simply relax and reminisce or take advantage of a full program of learning, dining, and entertainment options. Alumnae over the last four years have enjoyed the extended concurrent educational and personal enrichment sessions presented by CHC faculty on Friday afternoon. In fact, most alums find it difficult to narrow down their choices to just one session. Others later write appreciatively of the Friday and Saturday evening activities how they not only enjoyed catching up with their own classmates but also getting to know alums from other classes. What should you do now? Look over the programming options outlined in this booklet, talk up the activities with your classmates and friends, and begin planning your perfect getaway weekend with other alumnae stars at our loved Chestnut Hill.

4 Final performance Ever! Your 1 and 6 classes mark the final cohorts to celebrate your five-year return to campus as reunion alumnae (with some exceptions of young men who transferred into CHC between our coed announcement in 2001 and the first full coed class to enter in 2003). Reunion Weekend 2012 will include the College s first full-time, traditional-age undergraduate coed class to graduate from Chestnut Hill, as it welcomes the Class of 2007 to its fifth reunion. If you ve never attended Reunion Weekend, or if you haven t attended in several years, why not consider doing so for this final all-women s college reunion? Come back to CHC as we celebrate our founding in 1924 as a college for women by honoring the College s greatest stars the Sisters of St. Joseph and their French roots with Saturday s French-touched dinner and after-dinner festivities.
