Class of 2007 5 Year Reunion


07 reunion group1

It's never easy finding the ideal  time for a 5 year reunion with so many alumni being out of town, but we did manage to pin down a small group of '07 grads and a large group of faculty to attend the Class of '07 5 Year Reunion on May 31 at the Village Taphouse in West Van. Thanks to everyone who came out for the event!
