Class of 1989 Party

Kemper sits on the edge of Tisch Park near iconic Brookings. Enjoy the beautiful space while enjoying gourmet food, an open bar, music, and great conversation sharing memories of your time at WashU.
Friday Night Class After-Party
The Class of 1989 reunion committee invites 35th reunion celebrants to join classmates following Friday night’s Welcome Back Party at Krueger’s Bar. Join for a night cap, to reconnect with friends, great conversation, or simply to extend the fun. Classmates will gather for an informal meet-up immediately following the Welcome Back Party.
