Between 6,000 and 7,000 people are expected to return to Cornell for Reunion 2013, with events across campus June 6-9.

Reunion 2013, for the Classes of 3s and 8s, will see alumni celebrating their fifth to 75th Reunions, from the Class of 1938 to the Class of 2008, as well as members of the Classes of 2013 and 2012 attending for Reunion Zero and Reunion One.

The weekend includes triennial meetings of the Cornell Asian Alumni Association (CAAA) and the Cornell Native American Alumni Association (CNAAA), coming to help mark the American Indian Program’s 30th anniversary celebration. Special events include an Iroquois Social with traditional music and dance, Friday, June 7, 4-6 p.m. on Bailey Plaza.

“The two organizations will provide a forum for diverse alumni to celebrate their class affiliation in addition to shared identity and culture, all within a Cornell context,” said Yve-Car Momperousse, director of diversity alumni programs. Some students have stayed on campus specifically to meet these alumni, Momperousse added.

Both groups and Cornell Mosaic host a forum June 8, “Changing Faces in Media and Entertainment,” with film producer Teddy Zee ’79 (“The Pursuit of Happyness”), Bloomberg correspondent Scarlet Fu ’94, journalist Ti-Hua Chang, AIP Director Jolene Rickard, and documentarian Jason Corwin ’02, M.S. ’09, a current Ph.D. student. The forum, 1:30-3 p.m. in Milstein Auditorium, will be livestreamed at http://www.livestream.com/cornellalumni .
