A warm, late summer afternoon provided a perfect opportunity to open the doors to the Slocum balcony. During the open house, students Stephanie Wagner ’19, Caroline Barrick ’19, and Sukhmann Aneja ’20, gave tours of Slocum Hall to interested alumni including Richard ’56 and Janece Lafferty, and Sylvia Burger Sullivan (VPA ’56) and Alex Sullivan. Richard and Sylvia came back to campus to celebrate their 60-year reunion. Heather Murtagh-Miller ’09 and Paul Miller ’09, members of the Generation Orange Committee, stopped by to say “hello” and grab some refreshments before heading out to enjoy other Homecoming events.

Arthur Chukhman, John Giles, Julien Leyssene, Leonardo Perez, Adam Sheraden, Siu Tam and Dino Tadiar traveled from areas around the country including Los Angeles, Vermont, New York City, Syracuse, and also the island of St. John, Virgin Islands.
