Reunion Weekend 2024
USM alumni from coast to coast returned to Milwaukee in June for a weekend of celebrating and reminiscing. Members of the Class of 1974 marked their 50th reunion and were joined by others at a variety of events on campus, including the Summer Soirée, the Joe Lubar ’08 Alumni Baseball game, tours of campus, and a cookout at Head of School Steve Hancock’s house on campus.
Since its first year in 2011, the number of friends and families honoring the late Joe Lubar ’08 at the annual alumni baseball game continues to grow. This year’s inclement weather didn’t stop anyone from celebrating Joe by playing his favorite pastime
From left Mark Hansen ’74, Margaret (Grebe) Lidstone ’89, and Kip Jacobs ’74 each received an alumni award during the Summer Soirée event. Hansen and Jacobs received Alumni Service Awards for their work to support USM scholarships and campus improvements, respectively, and Lidstone received the inaugural Alumni Impact Award for her work in global health.
Members of the Class of 1974 joined Kip Jacobs ’74 (center) to see first-hand the work he’s been doing to eradicate invasive plant species and create new outdoor habitats on campus. The Class of 1974 is currently raising funds for the creation of an outdoor classroom in Jacobs’ honor; visit www.usm.org/class-of-1974 for details.
