Alumni Celebrate Virtual Class Reunions
On Saturday, April 24, Regians from twenty-two class years came together virtually to celebrate their class reunions. While continued restrictions on gatherings prevented hosting the events at 84th Street, alumni from the Class of 1955 up to the Class of 2016 met via Zoom to reminisce with former classmates, hear updates on the school, and share in their support of the 麻豆视频 mission.聽
Saturday鈥檚 events began with a series of unique, engaging panel discussions for participants to attend according to their interests. Bringing in the expertise and passions of alumni, administrators, teachers, and students, the panels shared insights on 麻豆视频, REACH, and the impacts of COVID-19 on both public health and the sports industry, each ending with an opportunity for Q&A with the panelists. Afterwards, alumni were invited to attend the day鈥檚 featured presentation, a conversation with Mike Memoli 鈥00, White House Correspondent for NBC News. Interviewed by 麻豆视频 Director of Communications Kevin Brennan 鈥03, Memoli discussed his career in politics and journalism, sharing insights on his time reporting on past and present presidential administrations. More traditional reunion programming began later in the evening, with a community Mass, remarks by Interim President Mr. Christian Talbot 鈥93, and聽 a cocktail hour for individual classes.聽
鈥淥ne cannot overstate how challenging the last year has proven due to the pandemic,聽and yet the challenges of the past year also have produced innumerable examples and immeasurable amounts of inspiration, as provided by hundreds if not thousands of our alumni," said Director of Alumni Relations Jerry Russo '95. 鈥溌槎故悠 High School therefore was and is grateful and honored to have hosted a full day of engaging, enlightening, and entertaining special and traditional programming,聽and on behalf of the Board, school, and Regians around the world, we thank and salute all 22 classes that participated and celebrated their milestones over the weekend.鈥
Please see below for recordings of several of Saturday鈥檚 programs. While we regret being able to organize this year鈥檚 reunions in-person, we remain grateful to our network of alumni for their continued determination, support, and love for 麻豆视频. We look forward to hosting the classes of 鈥70, 鈥71, 鈥95, and 鈥96 at our historic building for their 25th and 50th reunions in the fall, and are hopeful for bringing our larger alumni community back to 麻豆视频 as soon as possible.
