Thanks for Coming Home
for Reunion Weekend 2005!

Marquette's alumni flocked to campus in record numbers to celebrate the 2005 Reunion Weekend. Alumni enjoyed a weekend packed with parties, tours, dinners and educational opportunities. There were also some reunion "firsts" this year, like an Ethnic Alumni Association reunion celebration, a football reunion, and a special party organized by the class of '85.
