Spring Reunion 2002

On Thursday, May 9, alumni gathered at the Holiday Inn in Big Rapids for the Spring Reunion Banquet 2002.
Returning alumni gathered early to mingle, reminisce and renew old friendships.
The evening formally began with an invocation by Father Wayne D. Wheeler, Jr., of St. Paul’s Campus Parish.
After dinner, Alumni Association Director Jeremy Mishler offered welcoming remarks. President William Sederburg, Board of Trustees Chair R. Thomas Cook and Alumni Association President Kevin Cross also addressed alumni.
The classes of 1957, 1962 and 1977 were then recognized.
After the induction of the newest Golden Eagles (Class of ‘52), returning Golden Eagles were recognized, the John and Sue Bradac Above and Beyond Award was given to Robert Purtee and William Wolbrink, and the Pacesetter and Distinguished Alumni Awards were presented.
Next year’s Spring Reunion will also have its milestones. Plan on being in Big Rapids when the University will mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of its founder, Woodbridge N. Ferris.
