From the opening cookout and ice cream on Thursday to the closing fireworks show on Saturday night, smiles, handshakes and hugs were observed in abundance. Approximately 600 friends joined us for at least one of the many events of the 2000 Summer Reunion Weekend. A few of the highlights included music from three different singing groups, an outstanding turnout for the 1950 reunion, an entertaining, funny, meaningful alumni banquet with speaker Brock Brentlinger doing a wonderful job of helping us to embrace the past of GC, and the largest turnout yet for the Panther Golf Scramble on Friday.

During the weekend, the reunion classes opened their checkbooks and donated over $11,000 to equip another classroom for computerized teaching. What a wonderful show of support for their alma mater!

Of all the events that take place on this campus, class reunions are something special. They bring us back to what is really important; our love for Jesus, each other and Greenville College.

Claussen Plaza Dedication, held on June 17 during Alumni Reunion Weekend, welcomed Claussen & Page families and friends to campus. Claussen Plaza and Page Circle were dedicated to the students of Greenville College and in honor of Susan Claussen's parents, Clyde and Florence Page. Claussen Plaza was made possible through a generous gift from Jim '59 and Susan '58, '86 (Page) Claussen.
