Выпускники закрытого колледжа Эйзенхауэра в Сенека-Фоллс собираются на воссоединение

SENECA FALLS — Eisenhower College was established in this Seneca County town in 1968. It closed in 1983. Despite being closed for nearly three times as long as it was open, many of its graduates remain deeply loyal — and the Eisenhower College Alumni Association has planned a homecoming reunion for Aug. 28-30, billed as “Familiar Faces, Familiar Places.” “We’re heading back to Seneca Falls for another unforgettable homecoming weekend,” said Michael DiPietro of the Alumni Association and a member of the Class of 1983. “The Class of ’76 is celebrating their 50th anniversary and the Class of ’81 their 45th, so it’s going to be a lively one.” Alumni are encouraged to make lodging reservations at the Hampton Inn, Microtel, and the Lux Hotel and Conference Center. Nancy Fromer Wilson (’78) has planned the weekend activities. They include a picnic lunch, a dinner, and pickleball, a new activity this year. On Saturday morning, Kathy Benini (’81) is hosting a clinic for beginners, followed by separate tournaments in the afternoon for all skill levels. Haider Ali Khan (’76) will receive the Distinguished Alumni Award. He has dedicated his post-collegiate career to the field of international economics and development, delivering lectures across the globe. He is a distinguished professor at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. The winner of Alumni Association scholarships will be announced too. The schedule of events : • Aug. 28 — Lunch at the Red Brick Pub on Fall Street, followed by golf at noon at Seneca Falls Country Club, a welcome reception from 5-7 p.m. in Jacobs Lounge of the Northeast College of Health Sciences Administration Building, a memorial service at 7 p.m. at Monet Bridge on campus, and a dinner at the country club until 9 p.m. • Aug. 29 — The day begins with a run, walk, or stroll around the campus at 9:30 a.m., starting at the flagpole. A pickleball orientation for beginners will be at 9:30 a.m. in the campus gym. The annual alumni association meeting will be 11 a.m. to noon in Room 110 of the Academic III building, followed by lunch from noon to 2 p.m. on the atrium and patio, along with formal picture-taking and a walk around campus. A pickleball tournament will be from 2-3 p.m. in the gym. Cocktails and dinner will be 5:30-8 p.m. in Jacobs Lounge and the campus dining hall, followed by dessert and dancing to live music from Major Keys from 8-11 p.m. in Jacobs Lounge. • Aug. 30 — The weekend concludes with a farewell brunch from 9-11 a.m. at SFCC and an afternoon social gathering at 2 p.m. at Buttonwood Grove Winery in Romulus. The college, a memorial to President Dwight Eisenhower, a World War II Allied commander and general, was a liberal arts institution with a focus on international affairs and international studies. The campus is now home to the Northeast College of Health Sciences, formerly New York Chiropractic College.
