Reunion 2009

In addition to “Jazzin’ it Up” during Alumni Weekend 2009, several hundred alumni who participated in a two days of reminiscing, reconnecting and renewing friendships through a variety of programs, were witness to a Heidelberg “first” and a “last.”

Alumni heard the last formal address in the interim presidency of Dr. Jim Troha and were the first to hear remarks from incoming President Dr. Rob Huntington, who takes office July 1. Both spoke about the importance of community and alumni engagement.

Prior to the luncheon speeches, alumni kicked off the weekend Thursday, June 18, with the annual Heritage Society Dinner, honoring alumni and friends who have designated Heidelberg as a beneficiary in their estate plans. Alumni began to arrive on campus in large numbers on Friday, June 19. Those who returned to campus to celebrate (or have celebrated) the 50th anniversary of their graduation were inducted into the Medallion Club during a luncheon that day. Read complete story...
