Some of the incoming firsties were welcomed at send-off events held by MHC Clubs in the US during August.

Several members of the Class of 1970 were on hand at the Welcome Tent on Skinner Green to greet the new students on 2 September, where each firstie was given a lucky stone,  a gift from their Connections Class of 1970 (us!)  This was our first formal outreach to the Class of ’20 on campus .

We have arranged a Mountain Day greeting, which will be sent to all of the members of the Class of 2020 on the morning of that glorious day this fall when the bells ring at 7:00 a.m., continuing one of MHC’s loveliest traditions.

The Connections Class committee will plan additional events when we meet with the newly-elected class officers of the Class of 2020 later this fall.  Want to be part of the fun?  Contact  Ann Richardson Berkey.
