The Kedzie Reunion on June 10, 2005 was a great success with over
200 people attending. All graduates of 1955 and before were invited
to attend this annual event at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center.
The day began with a panel discussion by students from the Student Alumni
Foundation, who currently attend Michigan State University. The students
discussed what life is like at MSU today and answered questions posed by
the Kedzie participants.

The Class of 1955 was honored at the annual Kedzie Luncheon and Induction
Ceremony. Mr. Chris Holman, Publisher of the Greater Lansing Business
Monthly, was the Master of Ceremonies for this program. President
Lou Anna Kimsey Simon welcomed the group and made opening remarks. Mrs.
Joanne Vanover who represented the Class of 1954, handed the gavel to Class
of 1955 representative Mr. Burton Gerber, who shared his memories of MSU
with the audience.
The Kedzie Cane Award was presented to Martha Bachman Thompson and Mr.
Dale Boyles as the oldest living alumna and alumnus attending the Kedzie
Reunion.
The induction ceremony was followed by a group photo of the Class
of 1955 on the east patio of the Kellogg Center.
The Kedzie participants enjoyed a bus tour of campus during the mid-afternoon,
as well as a walking tour of the MSU Super Conductor and of the MSU Dairy
Store. The tours were followed by a light dinner at the President's
Home, Cowles House.
