“In celebrating your time at Messiah College, as well as the things you’ve accomplished since leaving, the 25th and 50th class reunions are especially memorable. The class of ’59 and ’84 came together at their Homecoming class reunions with an unmistakable enthusiasm for reconnecting as well as some wonderful stories to share. We are so grateful for their support of one another and Messiah College.”
—Kristin Zummo ’06, coordinator of Alumni and Parent Relations
