Donor Thank You BBQ & Summer Reunion

Thursday, August 82024

 

This is an invite-only event for our alumni and friends who are donors and alumni from the Classes of 1984 and prior to come back to campus for a cookout on Mary Lyon Lawn. Special recognition for those celebrating their 50th Reunion - and other landmark years!

 

More details to come, but we'll have  our outside summer barbecue, live music from Skip Whitmore '69 and the Full Turn Band, reception and art auction featuring pieces by the late Prof. Barbara Dearborn '60 (mathematics) and the founder and namesake of the Dearborn Golf Classic, campus tours, memorabilia to view from the Michael J. Spinelli '69 Archives, and more.  Special reserved seating, photos, and gathering for those in the '67, '74, and '84 Reunion classes. 

  • Current Plymouth State donors will be sent a postcard and email invitation with instructions to RSVP. If you're a donor and misplaced or did not receive the postcard or email, please reach out to us at alumni@plymouth.edu
  • Alumni who are not yet donors, or who still need to renew this year, are invited to join our community of donors  with a registration of $50, which includes $20 for the BBQ and a $30 tax deductible gift to the Plymouth Opportunity Scholarship Angel Fund. 
  • Celebrate your Class Reunion as part of our Donor Thank You Barbecue. The Class of 1974 will be sent a letter and email invitation with instructions to RSVP.

Contact Assistant Director for Alumni Relations Lauren Wentworth at alumni@plymouth.edu if you have any questions or need help with online registration, or call the Alumni Relations Office at (603) 535-2428.

Reunion Update Form - What Have You Been Up To?

Please use the space above to update us on what you’ve been up to since your last Reunion. If this is your first Reunion, a summary of what you’ve been up to since graduation would be very welcome. Updates are appreciated, especially if you’re not able to attend in person. As a guide to writing your update, think about career or retirement updates, awards/honors received, family updates, hobbies, travel/adventures, etc. Please keep your updates to 5-6 sentences (maximum) and write it in the 3rd person. An example pulled from the Plymouth Magazine Winter 2022 edition: “Mary (McMullen) Thompson ’75 majored in elementary education and was part of Delta Zeta, Plymouth Players, Polyphonic Choir, and Percussion Ensemble. After graduating she was an elementary school teacher and married David G. Thompson ’77. The Thompsons have been married for 43 years, have five grandchildren, and are enjoying retirement in Harrisville, NH.”
