Class of 1979

More than 700 MIT Sloan alumni, family members, and friends came together at Reunion 2004 in June to reminisce and celebrate common bonds. The alumni spanned 11 classes and hailed from 22 countries. Total attendance marked the largest in MIT Sloan's history.

Alumni energy, ideas, and spirit made reunion a great success.

The MIT Sloan spirit was evident among the Class of 1979 attendees. On Friday evening class members met for an exclusive discussion session led by classmate Mark Edwards. They met for a class dinner Saturday evening at Stephanie Sonnabend's home in Brookline. And they were well represented at the Dean's Luncheon, the Back-to-the-Classroom sessions, and the other reunion events.

The class also graciously offered financial support to MIT Sloan and MIT: $356,090, contributed from 47 percent of the class members — much appreciated support for MIT Sloan's efforts to advance the practice of management.

Thanks especially go to members of the 1979 Class Reunion Committee, who gave their time and energy to help make Reunion 2004 such a great experience.
