’80 Women
8:30–9:30 a.m.
Our reunion is upon us! And we are so delighted to invite you to kick off the first full day of the weekend at a coffee just for women, on Friday morning. This event is being organized by Cap & Gown, a women’s service group. But the coffee is for all women in our class. Come alone. Come with a friend. Or come with a group. Just come.

45th Reunion Class Lunch
11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
After an action-packed morning, it’s time to pull up a chair and relax. Join your classmates and share a meal together while catching up after years away. Enjoy a delicious buffet lunch and keep the conversation flowing!

45th Reunion Class Panel
1:15–2:45 p.m.
Henry Ford once said, “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.” Though we are WELL shy of 80, how have you continued to actively learn? What does “lifelong learning” mean to you, and how has that impacted your life/career/sense of adventure, or fulfillment? Join the incomparable Class of 80 for our reunion Class Panel to discuss how we have continued to learn since graduating, and what part teaching or mentoring might have played in your life. Perhaps, you’ll be inspired by new things to pursue in the coming years!

45th Reunion Class Party
7:00–11:00 p.m. at Four Seasons Hotel
Gather with our classmates for a special evening of nostalgia and camaraderie at a great venue—the Four Seasons Hotel Palo Alto. Celebrate and reminisce with friends—old and new, while enjoying drinks from our hosted bar, a delicious dinner, AND the chance to once again ‘cut the carpet' to the hits of the ’70s! We invite all alumni to come as you are and revel in the warmth of familiar faces and shared experiences. It’s a not-to-miss evening and sure to be a highlight of our 45th Reunion on the Farm.

Open for 3-½ hours on game day, the Homecoming Hangout offers the perfect spot to unwind between scheduled events or to soak in the pre-game excitement. No tickets or reservations required—just drop by and make yourself at home.

Find that special group of friends you most want to see from your days on the Farm and get ready to cheer on the Cardinal. Enjoy all-you-can-eat tailgate fare, beer, wine, specialty cocktails and mocktails. Join the fun and festivities with your classmates. It’s All Right Now!
