CONNECTION
Parsons alumni learning about the Solar Decathlon project from participating Parsons students.
Parsons Reunion 2010 brought alumni to campus to reconnect and learn about innovative projects led by Parsons students and faculty at home and abroad. The weekend opened on Friday evening with a lively conversation between J.Crew president and executive creative director JENNA LYONS ’90 and designer DEREK LAM ’90, followed by cocktails. Saturday began with a panel on careers addressing social and environmental problems, followed by a luncheon organized according to degree program. Attendees then took tours of the school and heard presentations on the university’s Solar Decathlon project, the impact of the economic downturn on design industries, and Parsons’ ongoing role as a pioneer in art and design education. A cocktail party at Metropolitan Pavilion closed the day. In all, 500 alumni, students, faculty, and guests enjoyed rekindling friendships and professional relationships, meeting new members of the Parsons community, learning more about the school, and experiencing New York City.
