Welcome to the '87s' Mini-Reunions Webpage!
This is the spot to find out what’s going on in the world of Dartmouth ’87 mini-reunions. What are mini-reunions, you ask? They are informal and festive gatherings of ‘87s at different locations around the country (and the world) where you can hang out with old friends, reconnect with familiar faces, and even meet classmates for the first time.
Mini-reunions scheduled for 2011 include our annual “87th Night of the Year” celebrations in March and April:
For nine consecutive years and counting, the ‘87s have gathered in cities in the US and Europe in March and April to more-or-less simultaneously celebrate the “87th Night of the Year.” The 87th day of 2011 is March 28, and Mini-Reunion Chair Laura Gasser once again will be coordinating mini-reunion events with the help of her trusty group of organizers.
