Reconnect with your fellow classmates and share your memories for your 50th Reunion.
Message From the President
It is hard to believe that it has been 4 months since my last letter to your class. So much has changed in the world these last few months. I hope that you and your families remain healthy and safe during these challenging times.
As I mentioned in my letter in March, I am committed to bringing you all back to campus for your 50th Reunion. Under guidance from national health officials and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we have made the decision that we will hold your 50th Reunion, along with the Class of 2020 Commencement Ceremony, on Saturday, May 8, 2021. We want to be sure that when we gather it is safe for you, your families, and our staff. As originally planned, we will provide regalia for the ceremony and you will process across the stage and receive special recognition during the 154th Commencement Ceremony.
We will be providing regular updates when information becomes available via email, on the 50th Society webpage and on your Class of 1970 Facebook page. Be sure to connect with that page if you have a Facebook account. Also, take a moment to update your contact information to ensure we have the most accurate email and mailing address on file. A formal invitation will be mailed to you in early 2021.
I look forward to the Spring when we can celebrate your 50th Reunion and welcome you back to campus!
Sincerely,
Paula

Tell us about your time at Dean or send us photos!
As the class that never received a proper Commencement from Dean, we want to take this opportunity to help provide closure. We want to give you the opportunity to provide us with some insight into your experiences as students and share with us, and your classmates, anything that’s been on your mind about your time as Dean students.
We’re also creating a digital memory book for your class to honor your 50th reunion.
