12/19/13 3:55 PM
Dear Alumnae Friends,
Reunion time is fast approaching! Can you believe that five years have passed
since your last reunion? Make your plans now to join us for Alumnae Weekend,
April 25-26, 2014.
Spring is a great time to come back to campus, enjoy the nostalgia of your college
days and witness what Agnes Scott is today. This year we will be celebrating the
college’s 125th anniversary, so this Alumnae Weekend will be full of added special
events. In addition to your class reunion activities, there will be a birthday luncheon
on Saturday afternoon and celebratory dance party on Saturday night with the
sounds of Livin’ Large.
We hope that you can join us for our traditional afternoon of intellectual exploration
called “Back to Class” hosted by Agnes Scott faculty and staff members—Charlotte
Artese, associate professor of English; Mary Cain, associate professor of history;
Susan Kidd ’78, MAT ’07, director of sustainability; and Kimberly Knight, director
of digital strategy. Topics that alumnae may choose from include “2Bx3: Three Filmic
Versions of the World’s Most Famous Soliloquy,” “The ‘Woman’s Sphere’ and the
Creation of Women’s Colleges,” “A Deeper Shade of Green Revisited” and “Where
have all the kids gone? Social media beyond Facebook.”
In honor of the college’s 125th anniversary, we will have some new and exciting Agnes
Scott merchandise for sale during Alumnae Weekend. We will also have some great
photo opportunities for alumnae to have their picture taken with Agnes Scott herself.
We look forward to seeing you in April and celebrating with you!
Best wishes,
The Alumnae Relations Staff
