Alumni from all across the country came home to
East Lansing for the annual Silverfest celebration, on September
17 and 18. The guests of honor were members of the Class of 1979,
as they marked the 25th anniversary of their graduation from
MSUCOM.
The weekend began as usual with the Osteopathic
Open at Hawk Hollow Golf Course (sponsored by Metropolitan Hospital),
which raises money for student scholarships and loans. Friday
evening’s Dinner Dance allowed alumni from all eras to
reunite with old friends and classmates, as they enjoyed food,
music and dancing, at the University Club. The Classes of 1974,
1984, 1989 and 1994 were also recognized at the dance.
On Saturday, many alumni took part in a five-hour
CME course at the Kellogg Center. That was followed by a tailgate
party on Demonstration Field to get fans ready for Michigan State’s
football game against Notre Dame.
A huge turnout of alumni and their families made
this year’s Silverfest the biggest alumni weekend yet.
