Reunion Weekend 2021: A Virtual Celebration
Law School alumni from 21 classes celebrated the first-ever Virtual Reunion Weekend this year from April 30 to May 2. A new website served as the home for Reunion throughout the weekend. It included class-specific photo galleries, recordings of events, an activity book, and more.
To help alumni celebrate during the weekend, the Law School curated a Reunion Welcome Kit with goods from local Chicago businesses. Photo courtesy of Alvaro Awad Shihan, LLM ’16.
Before and during the weekend, Dean Thomas J. Miles and other participants recorded programming. In this photo, Miles is working with the Black Oak Production Company to record his State of the Law School address in the David M. Rubenstein Forum.
Alumni from across the globe participated in the first-ever Reunion Weekend 5K, running or walking their own routes any time between April 23 to April 29. All shared their UChicago Law pride leading up to Reunion Weekend.
As usual, class gatherings were the highlight of the weekend. Classes virtually gathered and reconnected with friends through Zoom and Sidebar. Pictured here is the Class of 1971 catching up with friends on Friday, April 30.
For this year's Reunion Weekend, alumni of the University of Chicago Law School gathered virtually from April 30 to May 2. They enjoyed various events, such as an LLM gathering; a tour of the Law School led by Associate Dean for Communications Marsha Nagorsky, '95; an alumni panel; faculty masterclasses; and virtual class gatherings.
The weekend kicked off with a State of the Law School address delivered by Dean Thomas J. Miles, the Clifton R. Musser Professor of Law and Economics, as well as several perspectives on life at the Law School during COVID-19.
