The last time we gathered as a group was in 2015. I am certain many things have changed in all of our lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing that has continued to change is how we stay connected. Remember needing a stolaf.edu email address to access a facebook account? What was an exciting prospect is now a way of life\u2014and further codified through a pandemic that pushed our lives even more online. Having missed our 10th reunion, I see your updates on social media. Maybe you have children now, new jobs, a new house, and live in new cities. And maybe life hasn\u2019t gone as \u201cplanned\u201d, I think we\u2019ve all experienced that in some way, too. We have many reasons to catch up in person and enjoy our memories from the Hill.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the format of Reunion Weekend has changed. The quad will be transformed with food, drink, and fun. It\u2019s a more open format between all reunion years with one dinner specific to 2010. The new format has been well received and is something to look forward to.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our 5th reunion was marked with a rumpus Saturday night party. Let\u2019s do it again, or whatever version of a wild time is now that we\u2019re in our 30s. I hope you will join me and fellow Oles <\/span><b>Friday, May 30\u2013Sunday, June 1<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn--lg\" href=\"https:\/\/stolaf.events.alumniq.com\/go\/reunion25\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">register for reunion<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are a few details to help you prepare for Reunion Weekend.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Come for the full weekend or just part of it.
