Reunion Films

Friends, Romans, Ephs!
Lend us your films (and TV shows and other video media projects)!
We are trying to put together a collection of our classmates and the other reunions' work for an evening (or more) of screenings. Feature films, short films, TV Shows, Documentaries, Music Videos - all are welcome and more. If you have acted, directed, produced, written, gaffed, catered, best boy'ed any of the above, share your work with your fellow Ephs. All lengths and formats are welcome.

Please contact either Norm Anderson or Noah Harlan right away. Time is running out to schedule this so please send them a quick note today!

Thanks,
Noah and Norm

Spring Update

Hey everyone, only two months (!) until reunion. You all should have received the reunion information package, including registration information, in the mail. If not, contact Seth Morgan, and if you did, don't forget to register soon.

Thanks to everyone who donated to this year's alumni fund. We absolutely shattered all sorts of class records, with donations totalling over $84,000 from over 52 percent of the class. We more than doubled last year's total, and gave at least $12,000 more than any other class from 1994 through 2006. Incredible! Thanks to Jenny and Mac for their hard work in sheparding this effort.

And now, a few bits of Williams news. First, some bad news. Several class members wrote to tell me about a fire on Spring Street. Subway, the Purple Pub, and a new coffee shop all suffered extensive damage. No word yet on if and when they will reopen. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the Pub (which seems to have sustained relatively minor damage) will reopen in time for reunion.

It is college admissions season, and I for one am thankful I applied to Williams 15 years ago rather than today. Williams received a record number of applications, around 6400, and admitted only 17 percent of those applicants. The NYTimes recently published an outstanding essay from an early decision applicant who was rejected. Hard to imagine how the admitted student essays must have read.

In Williams sports news, congratulations to the women's indoor track and field team, who captured their first national championship.

Finally, don't forget that the nomination deadline for class officers is April 20th. Please email me with any nominations.
