Hello, 1956 Black Bears, if you are reading this column, we want to hear from you! Send us an email or a note about what you are up to! Any news is news we would like to hear! We will be sure to include your update in the next column.
Save the date for the annual Senior Alumni Reunion on campus September 11-13! If anyone lives in the Orono area, the Alumni Association would love to have some 1956 class members attend a Reunion activity or two. The Senior Alumni Luncheon on the Friday of Reunion is always a good one to attend! Watch your mail or email for more information as September gets closer, or give the Alumni Association a call.
The Class of 1956 Scholarship Fund continues to grow and help students in need. As of April 30, 2025, the principal balance of the fund was $205,405! In the next magazine, we will report on the student who receives the scholarship. As always, your scholarship gives first preference to descendants of the Class of 1956. A difference is truly being made in the lives of the students, thanks to the Class of 1956!
Your class will celebrate your 70th Reunion in the fall of 2026. Be thinking about anything you might like to do to celebrate, whether it be a class Zoom meeting to see faces and reminisce or even a class gathering luncheon somewhere. If you have thoughts or requests, reach out to the Alumni Association. We’d love to support the Class of 1956 getting together again!
Take care, everyone! Go Black Bears!
