After thirty years, it’s time for us to “return to campus”. (Hey wasn’t that the name of the movie shot on location at JCU during while we were there?) We need to renew old friendships, have a few laughs, reminisce, share a meal together, have a few beers, and marvel at how our school has transformed from a small little campus to a beautiful sprawling campus with twice as many buildings and magnificent sport facilities.

Make your reservations today to be there for our 30-year class reunion. Let’s make this our best-attended reunion ever. See you soon.

Whether you attend our reunion not or not, please remember John Carroll by giving a donation. It’s important for those who have given in the past to maintain your previous-level of giving. If you haven’t given, this is the perfect year to start. Consider giving at least $100. If $100.00 sounds like too much then at least consider giving $1.00 for each year since our graduation for a total of $30.00. Any amount will be greatly appreciated and you can be assured that it is going to great cause.

See you at the reunion.
