High School Reunions:  Strategies for Coping & Creating an Enjoyable Experience

Saturday, May 30

12:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.

Click here to register today!

In High School Reunions:  Strategies for Coping & Creating an Enjoyable Experience, Dr. Gail Eisen will offer a unique opportunity to re-visit the rich landscapes of high school, exploring ways in which adult identity and ideals might have been shaped during the adolescent years.

4 QUICK TIPS FOR A BETTER HIGH SCHOOL REUNION

1.  Cultivate your social networks in advance: Make contact with people you do hope to see, and make arrangements to attend the Reunion with one or two of these long-time friends. Via telephone, e-mail, or Facebook, craft a plan to arrive together, sit together during at least a part of the evening’s program, and even arrange to de-brief together sometime after the event.

2.  Think in advance about your “personal narrative” – how you tend to introduce yourself to strangers, and to others you have not seen in many years. How has your narrative changed and evolved during the last 10 years?  What two or three sentences might summarize your experiences and new insights?

3.  Bring to the event family photos or travel images – both old and new – to share with classmates, stimulate discussion, and fill in the gaps when conversation might be lagging.

4.  Be aware that no matter your preconceptions, some positive results will come from this experience. Without doubt you will discover a few real surprises and some interesting and compelling personalities, and for a very few, perhaps even a rekindling of a previous romance.
