| Q: |
Who reunes? |
| A: |
All alumnae, guests and their families are welcome at every reunion! Classes are especially invited back for each five year reunion.
Reunion 2008 features “all 3’s and 8’s” – the classes of: 1938, 1943, 1948, 1953, 1958, 1963, 1968, 1973, 1978, 1983, 1988, 1993, 1998, 2003, and the Class of 2007 as well as all members of the Golden Club.
In addition, we will be having a reunion for all former athletes. |

| Q: |
Why don’t we have Reunion like we used to and reunion with the classes around my own instead of every 5 years? |
| A: |
When Converse transitioned to the 5-year plan for Reunion, we found that Reunion was better attended, and it was easier to know when you were going to have a Reunion. In addition, we have a mini-reunion each year for a specific organization or affinity group that draws alumnae from many different classes. This year, we are hosting a reunion for all former athletes.
All alumnae, guests, and their families, however, are welcome at every reunion, and we find that they are more likely to come if you personally invite them. |

| Q: |
What is Alumnae College? |

After spending so many years on campus, it is not hard to come back and not learn something new! Alumnae College, taught by Converse faculty, staff and alumnae is a series of short classes that will leave you wanting to learn even more! |

|
| Q: |
Will my favorite faculty member be at Reunion? |
| A: |
All faculty, including local retired faculty are invited to participate in Reunion weekend, especially the Friday night BBQ on April 25 of Reunion Weekend. We have found that if you personally invite faculty, they might be more inclined to attend knowing who will be there. |

|
| Q: |
