Celebrating Milestone Reunions

Hundreds of alumni and their guests returned to Ann Arbor over two weekends this fall to celebrate their Reunion. Classmates attended a tailgate and other programming in the Law Quad— which included a speed mentoring event with students—gathered for class dinners, reconnected with members of the faculty and Law School administration, and cheered for the Wolverines at Michigan Stadium. In fact, support from Law School Reunion attendees seems to be something of a lucky charm for Michigan football—with this year’s victories over Indiana University and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, the team is on a 14-game winning streak during Reunion weekends. Hail to the Victors, indeed!
