As head of the local alumni chapter, it is really heartwarming for me to see alumni from across so many generations come together. We had representation from the class of 1958 to the class of 2013 and even a prospective student! It's also great to meet alumni who are coming to their first alumni event. After all, the success of our events is because of your continuing support. And while there wasn't a lot of work that needed to be done to pull this event together, our hope is that you all had a great time mixing, mingling and reconnecting with Dr. Riley.
Here are some pictures from my camera to commemorate the evening. If you have any to share, please email them to calgarychapter@stfx.ca.

Various generations of alumni came together for the President's Reception. Part of Dr. Riley's magic, perhaps? |
