11. The chapel session on Thursday was interesting, but perhaps not the most appropriate for the occasion. It would have been good to worship with the students.
12. Love the event, so fun to see and hear about other people’s experiences. Also very convenient for it to be in conjunction with Vision 360.
13. Great job everyone.
14. Genae is the best alumni organizer ever!
15. You all did a fabulous job!
16. Along with everything else you guys did well, I felt like the alumni committee did an amazing job at recruiting people to come. The pictures on facebook served a great purpose. Good job!
17. Thanks for doing it. Interesting that most attendees were ladies. How can you get more gentlemen there?
18. Excellent job renovating Jolliffe Hall.
19. Good job, everyone!
20. Great job. Look forward to the next one.
21. Excited about the possibility of a new dorm.

23. There was a great variety of activities and it was good to get to know some current students and some from other eras, too.
24. No
25. We know the event was for all classes, but it might be a good idea to emphasize certain classes like maybe the people that are having their 10 year, 20 year, 30 year, etc. and really advise more to the people from those years to try and get more of them to come.
26. Wish more from early 60’s would attend.
27. It was wonderful! I know it took a ton of work to get everything together. Someone (or ones) is super organized.
28. Many thanks to Genae and Jolene!
29. Just appreciate the staff effort at arranging the event each year. It’s a great blessing to the alumni community.
30. It was such a great time! Loved getting the former professors back. Chapel the next day was awesome! Just a couple of small things to improve: right after the fliers went out about the reunion, the website that we were directed to had no direct link. It was not easy to find where to register. Eventually had to use other means to register. Also, the tech was a little frustrating. Problems with sound at the professor panel and luncheon trivia, then the slides were behind in advancing for each of the worship songs. Again, just small things. Great weekend!
31. Need female faculty representation on the panel next time.
32. Thank you to all that worked so hard putting this on. It was very meaningful.
33. It was nice meeting everyone from other years/decades.
34. We missed Thursday, but ENJOYED the days we could attend. Thanks much for all the work and $ to make it happen!
35. Had a great time!
36. Thank you for putting your hard work into the planning and making it enjoyable for all, even my son, who is not a MCC student.
