50th Reunion Class of 1963

CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks to very generous donors in the Class of 1963, the goal of $1,300,000 has been met. The Class of 1963 Office of Financial Aid in Alumni Hall has been fully funded.

The 1963 Core Group and Committee thank all who donated to the project. Since the campaign counting period for the 50th Reunion continues until June 30, 2014, the group encourages additional gifts to help cover the cost of technology and furnishings for Alumni Hall, to the Knox Fund, or to individual passions. They especially encourage new donors (those who haven't given since June 30, 2011) to help reach the 63 percent participation goal.

The Reunion Core Group is also busy planning very special activities for Homecoming, October 18-20, 2013. If you have some ideas to share for events for the 50th Reunion weekend, contact Reunion chair, John Sauter.

Your 50th Reunion only happens once, so make plans to join your classmates and friends. Share favorite stories, remember your college days, laugh, reminisce, and catch up with all that has happened in the last 50 years. Most of all, celebrate your Knox experience with those who shared it with you and those who are enjoying their Knox experience today -- our students.
