Class of 1986 Reunion Letter
E-Letter from Bruce Kantor
Sent via email: April 15, 2026
Dear Class of 1986 Classmates,
I hope you all successfully endured this cold and snowy winter! While I enjoyed the snow, I am definitely looking forward to the warmer weather. Another thing I am looking forward to in the imminent future is our 40th college reunion in the fall. While our time at K still seems like it was just yesterday, somehow 40 years has raced by. I am looking forward to a fun reunion and catching up with everyone.
Our Kalamazoo College 40th reunion is October 23-25 2026, and a celebratory weekend is being planned to reconnect with each other and our K community. Below are some things you can do right now to connect with our class and the College before our reunion.
- Plan to attend October 23-25, 2026. Make your travel arrangements and book your hotel room now. You can find a list of hotels at homecoming.kzoo.edu.
- Friday, October 23 – 7 p.m.-12 a.m.: All Hornet Gathering at Bell’s, 355 E. Kalamazoo Ave.
- Saturday, October 24 in the morning: Reunion Photo
- Saturday, October 24 in the evening: Reunion Celebration
- Update your contact information at kzoo.edu/contact update.
- Share an update with the College. Submit a class note for publication to celebrate our reunion at kzoo.edu/classnote.
- Please note that to ensure your class note appears in the Fall LuxEsto, it must be submitted be July 31.
Help ensure each of our classmates is personally invited. In addition to coming back yourself, please consider asking your friends to do the same. Personal outreach is the most effective way to ensure we get the Class of 1986 back on campus. If you are interested in reaching out to our classmates, please let us know.
Please check the homecoming website for reunion updates. The best place to find up to date information on our class specific events is this page. Registration opens at the beginning of September, and you will receive an email and postcard in the mail when registration is open.
I hope you will join us for what promises to be a fun and exciting weekend for our class!
See you in October!
