A highlight for many was the campus tour which took place on private shuttle buses.

As part of the luncheon program, guests shared a memory from their time as students. Many talked about how Montclair shaped their lives and made an impact that lasted a lifetime. It was a wonderful moment of reflection and an opportunity to look back nostalgically on the early 70’s.
Each attendee received their very own 50th Reunion commemorative pin presented by Rita Walters, 负责发展和校友参与的副总裁, 还有珍妮·马拉诺, 负责年度捐赠和校友活动的助理副总裁.
