Alumni-Faculty Forums

A Reunions tradition for over forty years, the Alumni-Faculty Forums (AFFs) bring together alumni panelists from the major reunion classes for discussions of broad range of timely or timeless topics. Moderated by members of the faculty or administration, the forums attract roughly 2,000 alumni and guest each year.

Sixteen Alumni-Faculty Forums took place at Reunions 2008:

• Do We Take Our Infrastructure for Granted?

• Challenges and Changes in International Development
• Race and Class: Which Voices Count Most in Civil Society?
• What's Next for Healthcare Reform?

• Investing Today: What's the Next Bubble? 
• Writing as a Career
