Reunions 2002 was a huge success, bringing 3,271 people back to Duke for a weekend filled with parties, panels, reminiscences, and renewed friendships. Besides offering twenty-one travel programs and alumni colleges, Education and Travel sponsored a "Twentieth Century Lives" lecture series, worked with the clubs program and the development office to present education events in Atlanta, Seattle, Chicago, and New York, and held "A Weekend with Reynolds Price" to celebrate the work and teaching of a Duke treasure.
