Additionally, several Alumni-Faculty Forums will feature classmates, including Peter Hooper, Chris Hart, Bob Durkee, Jeff Marston, Jeffrey von Arx, and George Stern. Fred Campbell will be providing entertainment for the 11th time at our major reunion as Thursday’s DJ, and we have scheduled bands performing the music we all know and remember on Friday and Saturday nights. Those not anxious to leave campus can join us Sunday morning at a brunch held jointly with ’64 at the Grad College.

The Princeton University Office of Alumni Affairs provides detailed information about Reunions on the Reunions website. Use the pull-down menus (especially the “schedule” pull-down) at the upper right corner of the page to navigate.
