Awaiting Her Reunion Weekend, This Penn Alum Gives Us a Walking Campus Tour Down Memory Lane (VIDEOS)

Wednesday, May 13, 2009

As Laura K. Mack (C'89) prepares herself for celebrating her 20th class reunion at this weekend's Reunion Weekend (May 15-17th), she posted some videos (see below) she took from being on campus during last year's (2008) reunion weekend.

If you haven't been back to campus in a bit, Laura takes us for a walking tour down her memory lane as she reminisces about the High Rises, Locust Walk, and the Quad to name a few of her tour stops. She then journeys into some video in the 2008 reunion tents as well. I thought her video back into Hill House was most interesting as she attempts to visit her freshman dorm room.

It seems like Laura has lots of great memories! She looks forward to reuniting with her class this weekend! (fyi, Laura has organized a Hill House mini-reunion at the 1989 tent this Saturday at 1 pm)

Last night the classes of '93 and '98 got together at a Los Angeles Penn Club happy hour in anticipation for Alumni Weekend 2008. Alumni gathered at the Air Conditioned Lounge in Santa Monica to celebrate their upcoming 5 and 10 year class reunions.

I had to leave early but I managed to get some videos.

Check out who was there!

"As an outsider to the entertainment industry and to LA, DuelingTampons.com gave me an excellent jumping-off point to start my job search.

From there I was able to reach out to our incredible alumni network, schedule introductory meetings and phone calls, eventually land an interview, and finally secure an internship at a top Hollywood studio."
