We’re well on our way to creating the best Reunion playlist, possibly best playlist ever.
Check out what your classmates have requested so far:
Are we missing your favorite tune? What song brings you back to walking around campus?
Let us know, submit your songs here.
There’s nothing that transports you back to your UVM experience better than music.
The songs you listened to on repeat in your dorm room. The songs you danced to downtown. The songs that take you back 10, 12, or even 14 years ago (scary, right?).
(The songs you illegally downloaded when the internet seemed so innocent)
Well, in honor of your 10th year reunion, let’s go ahead and make the best playlist of your favorite songs! Submit your top-5 songs and we’ll compile and make the playlist.
They can be your favorite songs from 2003 to 2007. Or, just the songs that stick-out in your mind as being important to you during your time at UVM (sometimes Livin’ on a Prayer just hits the spot).
To jog your memory, here are a few websites to peruse:
And rather than burning them onto CDs, one-by-one, like we used to, we’ll take a modern approach and use Spotify to build and share the list.
If you are coming to Reunion, we’ll play the list on Saturday night at the Boathouse. If you can’t make it, put it on throughout the weekend and have your very own celebration at home.
Submit your top-5 songs today and we’ll start sharing the suggestions next week on the Facebook group.
Thanks so much for answering our 4 Question Reunion Survey. Here are the results!
When you were students, the Davis Center construction was a big presence (and possible nuisance) on campus. Right now, central campus is undergoing its own major face lift with a new STEM building and residence hall.
So, we figured it would be nice to get your right into the heart of what’s changed in the past 10 years.
We shot a few 360 degree photos and dropped them into the Class of 2007 Facebook group.
Check out the Class of 2007 Facebook group take a virtual look around.
Thanks to everyone who completed the survey! There was some purely silly stuff in the survey, but a few of the questions will really help us tailor your Reunion experience to your class.
And congrats to Geoff Robinson, Emily Kilcoyne Maguire, William Goldberg, Morgan Hollister, and Elizabeth Fallon — they are the 5 lucky t-shirt winners.
Without further ado, here are the survey results.
Takeaway: You aren’t strangers to campus and Burlington.
Takeaway: Y’all are interesting.
Takeaway: Your class is definitely not averse to commitment.
Takeaway: You are ready to hop in your DeLorean, fire-up the flux capacitor, and hit 88 mph on your journey back to UVM.
Takeaway: Reunion = Hanging out with your friends, surrounded by delicious food and drink.
Takeaway: Your ideal UVM day involves getting out of bed at Redstone, heading to the Marche for breakfast, hitting the slopes, eating as much cheese as possible, and ending the night with a tasty sandwich downtown.
Week two of your Reunion blog!
It’s a good time for a little survey. Let’s see what’s happening in your class and how you are feeling about UVM and your reunion.
It takes just a minute to complete and there are some fun questions (mostly about food). When you complete the survey, you’ll also enter to win one of five awesome UVM t-shirts.
Complete the survey here: http://alumni.uvm.edu/2007survey.
We’ll share the summary results with everyone in two weeks.
Hard to believe it’s been almost 10 years since you graduated from UVM!
A lot happens in a decade — new careers, travel adventures, marriages and partnerships, births and adoptions, and many new friendships.
We hope 2017 is a year in which you can take some time to think about UVM and all of those meaningful experiences and relationships you had here.
We’ll try to guide you through some of those memories, reconnect you with campus, tell some of your stories, and hopefully see many of you back in October for your 10th reunion celebration.
Here’s how you can join the fun:
And now, to get you thinking about 10 years ago, we’ll leave you with the top pop hit of 2007.

Since we’re in the nostalgia business here at the Foundation & Alumni Association, I thought you might be interested to read about what was happened on campus between 2003 and 2007.
Luckily, our friends over at The Cynic have a digital archive of all their stories you can peruse.
If you are bored at home or work, take a few minutes and read some stories. Here are a few gems we’ve found so far:
