The April 24-27 All Gaucho Reunion is not your typical alumni gathering; it is more like a smorgasbord with something for nearly every taste and interest. Even distance runners with dogs this year have a place at the table, so to speak.

Several traditional class reunions—the classes of 1958, 1983, and 1998—will be mixed with unusual events, such as the new Gaucho Gallop race with a warm-up lap for dogs or Walter Capps’ Vietnam War Class reunion where veterans will be welcome. Other activities include a golf tournament, dedication of the athletes’ Hall of Champions, and a tour of the new Allosphere Research Facility where 3D projections foster a sense being inside an object.

Lectures on elections and the powers of the presidency will joust with analysis of the state budget and the real estate market for attendees.
