On Saturday, October 17, members of the Class of 1999 celebrated their 10 year reunion. The group met in the Masonboro Island room in the Fisher Student Center and enjoyed an intimate setting over a fantastic dinner with wine, beer and other refreshments overlooking the center of campus. The Class of ’99 graduates had a wonderful time reminiscing about their days at UNCW and enjoyed hearing from Mark Blackwell, current UNCW Student Body President. 
Those with young children took advantage of the complimentary childcare provided by the UNCW Teaching Fellows located conveniently next door to the reception. The group looks forward to more gatherings in the future as they continue to celebrate important milestones while remembering their shared experiences at UNCW.
