4 Where is the Class of 1988? Introducing Cluster Reunions 150 YEARS Celebrate SUNY Cortland s Sesquicentennial with Us! SUNY Cortland kicks off its Sesquicentennial (150th year) at Alumni Reunion 2018 and all Red Dragons are invited to the party. Call, text, or tweet your favorite Cortland friends to make sure they plan to attend Reunion on July Let s celebrate our big year in style, Red Dragons! While Reunion celebrates milestone reunions and featured groups, this party is open to everyone, every year. Make it your annual reason to return home, check out campus improvements and catch up with old friends. The 30th, 35th and 40th reunions will celebrate three class years during the same weekend. Cluster reunions allow alumni who were friends in the same club, major, sport team, Greek organization or residence hall to enjoy Reunion together. The result is triple the fun. How it works: One class reunites a year earlier than they normally would and one class reunites a year later. The Class of 1988 was featured at Reunion 2017 along with the classes of 1986 and 1987 for the 30th Reunion celebration.
