Dear WUDAA Members:
This is a long, slow rolling good-bye.
We are writing to clarify and let you know that all WUDAA hosted reunions have been discontinued as of Fall 2021 by a vote of the membership. As of the September 2021 Reunion, WUDAA members voted to dissolve the Association entity. Only website maintenance will continue for 5 years from 2021, all other services and/or functions have ended; this all culminated at the 2021 Reunion & meeting at Tilles Park.
The vote was the culmination of a 5-year time span since the final 2016 Gala, of mailings, email blasts and hard copies of letters & surveys sent asking the membership how long to continue and announcing the five-year time frame that was a result of the vote. So, the website is still active, and classes are certainly encouraged to arrange their own events.
The WUSTL Class and University Programs Alumni and Constituent Engagement contacts are:
Director, Mollie Corum and Administrative Assistant, Rachel Boehm. If you have any questions or your class is interested in having a reunion please feel free to contact either of them directly for a class directory. They will be able to provide you with a link to fill out a confidentiality form and then you can follow up, let them know that has been completed and they will send you the data you need.
