With the goals of driving attendance and fundraising efforts, the alumni Reunion Committees contributed to record turnout and $2.7 million dollars raised for scholarships at Stern. To recognize and celebrate their efforts, the Reunion Committees were invited to a VIP reception at Tavern on the Green where they proudly presented their checks to Dean Raghu Sundaram. 

Thirteen Reunion Committees were formed for BS and MBA classes in Reunion years and kicked off their efforts in October 2017. The committees included Stern’s most loyal and dedicated alumni, representing a wide array of industries and backgrounds. Most were leaders from their time as students who are now committed to giving back to Stern. 

Reunion Committee roles included:

• Driving fundraising efforts for their class
• Engaging in peer-to-peer outreach to support attendance  
• Leading periodic working meetings  
• Sharing ideas on Reunion programming and reception venues
• Moderating programs during Reunion Weekend events
• Leading giving challenges among their peers
   

Together they made a significant impact on the success of Reunion 2018. During the VIP Reception, Dean Sundaram thanked the committees for their hard work and commitment to the School. Their efforts will have a big impact on the next generation of Stern students through scholarship support.  

After the private reception, Reunion Committee volunteers joined fellow alumni for the Reunion Evening Celebration that featured food stations, full bars, a photo booth, candy bar, and a DJ. Read about highlights from Reunion weekend.
