25th Reunion ~ May 14/15-17, 2020
Dear Class of 1995,
Reunion is less than seven months away! It will be the big 25! We have begun putting
together a terrific weekend that will appeal to every member of our class. Please put the
dates of May 14-17 on your calendar.
The reunion committee continues to form with an eye on ensuring representation
from each unit/dorm/team/activity. Below you will see who is in place so far. Let Taylor
and/or Katie know of your interest to be a part of the team. We welcome the ideas and assis-
tance.

Class of ’95 25th Reunion Accommodation Options
Please make your reservations ASAP!
Area Accommodations
There are numerous accommodation options in the area, including traditional hotel
chains, bed and breakfasts, and private homes with rooms for rent. One of the best ways
to enjoy a class reunion at Culver is to join together in the renting of a lake cottage or pri-
vate home. You can search Airbnb, VRBO for local rentals or consult this site
http://www.visitmarshallcounty.org/where-to-stay for a comprehensive listing of area
hotels, realtors, rental agents, and inns.
Culver Woodcraft Camp
On-campus accommodations are limited to the Woodcraft
Camp. It’s much like camping in a cabin, there is no heat or run-
ning water, which means having to walk to a separate building for
sinks, showers, and lavatories. We always hope for warm weather
by mid-May, but in recent years temperatures have frequently
dipped below freezing overnight, so you’ll want to bring your warm-
est sleeping bags, sweats, or down blankets just in case. Culver will
provide sheets, blankets, and towels. The Alumni Office is taking
reservations for the Woodcraft Camp now. Call 574-842-7200 and
Amy or Ann will be happy to assist you.

Reunion Survey
To make the reunion as meaningful and successful as possible for each of you, the Reunion
Committee has produced a reunion survey. We hope you will all take a few minutes to com-
plete it. The intent is to engage your interest and passion in a variety of topics concerning
Culver and for the committee to then try to facilitate these ideas for the reunion weekend.
CLICK HERE to fill it out online. Please help us make this a better reunion for you!

We urge you to return for our 25th Reunion! In the meantime Jeff
Kenney, Culver’s Museum Archives Manager, is providing a link to
our past in the “Digital Vault” where you can look over our ’95 Roll
Call and others from our era, Vedettes from our time, vintage films and
a number of other pieces of Culver history. In addition, a video and a
written guide on how to use the Digital Vault is provided. So, happy
hunting as you look back on your years at Culver.

Lost Classmates
The following classmates are on our Lost list. If you are comfortable sharing their
information with the alumni office ([email protected]), we would appreciate the
assistance. Letting them know that Culver does not have their current infor-
mation and asking them to reach out to the alumni office is another simply, and
helpful, way to keep your class rolls current.
