MANSFIELD, PA—Alumni, family and friends returned to Mansfield University for Alumni Weekend 2016 on June 10-12. A total of 287 people attended a wide-variety of events throughout the weekend.
The Class of 1966, celebrating its 50th anniversary, was this year’s honored guests for alumni weekend. Thirty one members of the class returned to MU and were recognized, along with all classes with years ending in six and one, retired faculty, administrators and staff at a luncheon on Saturday.
Also honored at the luncheon were this year’s Society of Honors award winners. Amy DuPree Brooks ’80 was presented with the Elsie Burke Service Award. Leroy Spoor ’62 received the Alumni Citation Award. Heather Long ’06 was named this year’s Outstanding Young Alumni. The Distinguished Educator Award was presented to Keith Semmel ’76.
Later in the afternoon, the new Greek memorabilia display was dedicated with a ribbon cutting ceremony and a reception. The room on the fifth floor of North Hall celebrates MU’s long, proud history of Greek Life with a permanent display honoring the history of Mansfield’s fraternities and sororities.
Donations to the collection are welcome. Contact the Alumni Relations Office at alumni2@mansfield.edu or (888) 305-6505.
