Alumni, family & friends Weekend This past October, a three-day block party happened along Beacon Street. Friday kicked off with the Athletics Hall of Fame, where over 70 Falcon boosters celebrated the Teams of the Decade and welcomed thomas englehardt ’09 into the Athletics Hall of Fame. The first ever Alumni Basketball Game was played at the home court in Lynn, MA. Parents and friends of current students explored school halls and toured Boston. Over 80 alumni from 15 states and spanning classes 1946 to 2007 toured campus, residences, and took classes with Fisher faculty. Especially touching was the twenty-five members of the class of 1961 who celebrated together, many who haven’t seen each other since they graduated 50 years earlier. Capping the weekend off was a brunch in the Ballroom where alumni learned ways they can mentor current students.
