Rich conversations kindled around the fireplace as the alumni got to enjoy a special PowerPoint presentation filled with old pictures depicting their experiences and memories with the Leadership and Development Honors Program.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michael Reuter, the Director of the Honors Program, stated, \u201cEveryone\u2019s enjoyment of the event was heard in the team\u2019s feedback, faces and voices throughout the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The success of this event has added even more excitement to the upcoming Alumni events planned for spring semester.
