Greetings Alumnae/i, We are getting closer and closer to summer and we hope that you are making plans to come to Oxford for Reunion 2016. Not only does attending campus reun-ions provide a great opportunity to rediscover what made Western “home” for you, but this Reunion is super special, you will not want to miss it. Thanks to your generosity, the Western College Legacy Circle is fully fund-ed and we will be treated to a special construction preview during the reun-ion. We are so very proud of this project which will tell the story of Western for generations to come. It is an exciting time to be on campus! But that is not all that we have planned! A student-faculty panel will share their thoughts on how to perpetuate the values and spirit of Western. We will also further celebrate the saving of Patterson Place and discuss our role in preserving this Historic Landmark building. And much, much more … So Alums, send in your registration and plan your trip to Oxford to join with us as we express our Western College heritage in “Legacies Living On.” I look forward to seeing you. Hazel Williams Drew ’66 Reunion Chair
