@lisaniver: 🎉 Class of ’89: Shining Bright at the 89th Alumni Awards Celebration! 🎉 Homecoming Weekend 2024 started as the Class of 1989 took center stage during the 89th annual Alumni Awards celebration—a perfect match for our incredible class! 🏆✨ 📸 A highlight of the evening? A photo with President Jameson during the Cocktail Reception, just before the awards were presented by David Blatte, President of the Alumni Class Leadership Council. 💼 The Gala was expertly hosted by Michael Barrett ENG’89, President of Penn Alumni, adding even more 1989 pride to the event. Here’s why we’re beaming with pride: 🏅 We brought home THREE major class awards: For the third time, we earned the Class Award of Merit, solidifying our legacy as one of Penn’s most outstanding classes. We received the Class of 1917 Award for philanthropy, a first for us—a true testament to the spirit of giving in the Class of ’89. The ACLC President’s Cup for breaking the 35th Reunion attendance record with an incredible 392 classmates and guests—a record-breaking 11% increase! 🏛️ Ramanan Raghavendran ENG’89, W’89, Chair of the Penn Board of Trustees, was also part of the celebration. A triple Quaker, Ramanan graduated from Engineering and Wharton in 1989 and earned another degree from LPS in 2015. He’s been a leader at Penn for years, serving as the School of Arts and Sciences Board of Advisors Chair since 2012. The laughs didn’t stop here: During his speech, the Young Alumni Award of Merit recipient jokingly declared himself part of our class, saying, “I was born in 1989!” 😂 Endless gratitude to our phenomenal 35th Reunion Committee, led by Julia Pirkey Stone, and to class presidents Mike Karz and Lolita Jackson. Your dedication made these achievements possible and brought our class together in such a meaningful way! What made this moment even sweeter? It was the 89th year of the awards celebration—proof that the Class of ’89 was destined to shine. The Class of ’89 continues to lead, inspire, and make history. Here’s to us and the incredible legacy we’re building together! 💙❤️ #Penn89 #89YearsStrong #HomecomingWeekend #AlumniAwards #QuakerPride
