Welcome to the Home Page for the Class of 79!

See You At Our Our 30th Reunion, June 4 - 7, 2009!

Please check in at the registration desk in McCormick Hall when you arrive on campus, to receive your reunion packet and tickets.

As of mid-May, over 60 of our classmates have signed up for at least one event.  We expect approximately 130 total attendees associated with our class.  To see a partial list of alumni who have registered for our 30th reunion, please visit this link.

Although online registration is now closed, on-campus registrations will be accepted for many events.  A limited number of additional tickets may be available for Class of 1979 events.  Please call the Alumni Reunion office at 617-253-8824 for more information.

The final schedule is posted on the Alumni Association's reunion page.  Planned events include:

* Events marked with an asterisk are exclusive Class of '79 events. The other events are general events open to all alumni.

Invite a friend to meet you at the reunion -- look them up in the Infinite Connection Online Alumni Directory.

Reminder: Your contributions to the Class of 1979 Student Aid Fund help MIT maintain its commitment to admit the best and brightest students, regardless of need.

Class Dues Are Still a Bargain at $19.79

You can now pay your 1979 class dues online!  To make it affordable in these tough times, class dues are still only $19.79 (could that amount be easier to remember?)  Your class dues help to defray the cost of class mailings and other class expenses.

The first 100 classmates who either register for a reunion event or pay class dues will receive a souvenir flashlight.

Class of '79 Crew Wants You!

Rick Meinig wishes to remind all Class of '79 rowers to contact him via email at rmeinig@comcast.net if you are interested in forming a boat.  Here are some photos of our intrepid class crew from the last reunion.

Fun Times at Our 25th Reunion

Speaking for myself and my family, and hopefully many of you, we had a wonderful time at our 25th reunion.  We renewed many old friendships and made some new ones!  We were particularly fortunate with the weather, which had been lousy all week but was spectacular on Friday and Saturday.   The rain even held off on Sunday for our class photo (see below).

As of May 14 (prior to registration deadline, so this was not the final tally), there were 210 total participants registered for one or more reunion events.  The Sunday brunch and the Friday evening buffet seemed to be the most popular events.
