Reunion Weekend 2009 Recap
More than 700 DePaul alumni and their guests descended on the Loop and Lincoln Park campuses on Oct. 16-18
to reunite with one another and reignite their passion for DePaul at Reunion Weekend 2009!
As in previous years, the Reunion Luncheon honored the 50th anniversary class and beyond. However, this year’s
luncheon featured the first-ever DePaul University
Fifty Year Club
induction ceremony, honoring those alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago. Over 150 alumni were welcomed
into the club and received a certificate and pin recognizing their membership.
On Friday evening, graduates from the classes of 2004-2009 gathered together for the Young Alumni Reunion,
held at Hub 51. Alumni and their guests mingled downstairs at Sub 51 while enjoying drinks and hors d'oeuvres.
On Saturday night, alumni and guests came together for the Reunion Dinner and Celebration at The Drake Hotel.
Members of the reunion classes enjoyed a cocktail reception downstairs, while alumni from
The DePaulia and
from DePaul’s Study Abroad programs gathered at two similar receptions upstairs. Following the receptions, everyone
met in the Grand Ballroom for dinner. The Rev. Dennis H. Holtshneider, C.M, president of DePaul, shared notable
university news and thanked everyone in attendance for coming back "home" to show their school pride.
