Memories . . . it's all about the memories. The journey began with basic science in Lindegren Hall and perhaps the occasional picnic at Little Grassy Lake.  Remember the aroma of fried chicken wafting through Giant City Lodge?  The next step of the journey was settling into life in Springfield. Remember lectures in the West Auditorium?  All night studies and exams interspersed with ample doses of fun and camaraderie.  Friendships were forged by common bonds and shared challenges. Remember when . . .

Regardless of the places recalled or the stories re-told, remembered most fondly are the people with whom the events were shared.  Rekindle friendships, reconnect with classmates and return to your alma mater this summer.

Share the rest of your journey by registering online or by mail and completing the biosketch form (also included in the printed registration form) by June 6.
