The College's fifth annual Alumni Appreciation Week a tradition created in 2007 to connect students with visiting alumni and help undergraduates recognize alumni contributions to the College features dinners for members of the Class of 2011, a reception with Trustee Bradford Evans '64 and alumni tailgates, Hill Winds Society Alumni Appreciation Week co-chair Yuxiang Zhou '12, said.
Alumni Appreciation Week, which began on April 24 and will conclude on April 30, helps educate students about alumni contributions to the College through various planned activities, such as a rugby game tailgate and a postcard signing session to recognize contributing alumni, according to James Barkley '06, assistant director of young alumni and student programs at the Office of Alumni Relations.
Although the majority of alumni on campus for Alumni Appreciation Week are class officers, live in the Hanover area or are visiting their children for First-Year Family Weekend, the numerous activities scheduled throughout the week offer alumni unique opportunities to interact with current students and discuss the state of the College, according to Zhou.
Approximately 20 alumni and 180 members of the Class of 2011 attended each of the three Daniel Webster Dinners organized by the College this week, according to Barkley.
