On top of the traditional festivities, this year saw special celebrations marking events canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Joe Wilensky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some 7,000 alumni and their guests descended on the Hill for Reunion 2025, reconnecting with classmates and friends and celebrating throughout a typical Ithaca rain-and-shine weekend. This year\u2019s gathering was particularly poignant for the classes who, five years ago, missed in-person gatherings due to the pandemic\u2014as well as for the members of the Class of 2020, who marked their first Reunion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That class\u2014which broke a 5th-Reunion attendance record, welcoming 1,004 members back to campus\u2014also enjoyed some special festivities aimed at making up for its missed senior spring traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three other classes broke records: \u201950 saw 11 classmates returning to mark their 75th; \u201985 had 489 alums for its 40th; and \u201990 had 353 for its 35th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alumni came from 49 states\u2014all but Arkansas\u2014as well as from Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, and 27 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his first State of the University address as Cornell\u2019s 15th president, Mike Kotlikoff focused much of his talk on the harmful impacts of the federal funding cuts and stop-work orders that have derailed more than 140 research projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUniversities are essential: to our modern lives and societies, and for our future,\u201d he told a packed Bailey Hall. \u201cThe federal research funding Cornell receives is not a gift. It is a contract: strictly budgeted and audited, to conduct specific research that the government wants done to benefit America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kotlikoff also highlighted the University\u2019s new \u201cCornell Matters<\/a>\u201d campaign, which invites alumni to sign up for information on how to advocate for their alma mater and help safeguard the University\u2019s research enterprise. (More than 2,300 have joined so far.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign, he said, \u201csuggests ways, large and small, that you can help spread the word that Cornell\u2014like all of America\u2019s research universities\u2014matters to us all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weekend\u2019s many events and programs included the annual Olin Lecture, which this year welcomed a panel of Olympians\u2014Stephen Ogochukwu Mozia \u201915 (track and field), Sorin Koszyk \u201920 (rowing), and Karen Chen \u201923, BS \u201925 (figure skating)\u2014who shared memories of competing at the Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panel was introduced by Super Bowl champ Kevin Boothe \u201905<\/a> and moderated by CBS sports reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala \u201900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annual Spirit of \u201931 Passing the Banner Ceremony saw the Class of 1950 handing off a Reunion banner to its counterparts from 2015, as well as the marking of a unique partnership between the Classes of 1960 and 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The older class had donated $25,000 from its treasury to help produce a Friday night concert in Barton Hall, dubbed \u201cSlope Day 2.020,\u201d as an in-person do-over for the virtual Slope Day the class held in the midst of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert was DJ\u2019ed by Norwegian electronic music artist Matoma\u2014who had performed at the virtual celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Cornelliana Night, the president of the Cornell Lacrosse Association\u2014Andy Phillips \u201984, MBA \u201986\u2014surprised a loudly appreciative audience by displaying the NCAA National Championship Trophy<\/a> from the Big Red\u2019s recent win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The William \u201cBill\u201d Vanneman \u201931 Outstanding Class Leader Award went to Nancy Jenkins Krablin \u201969 and Larry Krablin \u201969\u2014recognizing, among other activities, their service as registration chairs for seven Reunions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reunion fundraising totaled more than $172 million, with six classes setting new records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a slew of favorite events returned\u2014including the 5K run in the Botanic Gardens; performances by the Big Red Band; the Fun in the Sun Family Festival; the late-night tent parties on the Arts Quad; and canoeing on Beebe Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
