Roughly 45 former students , along with some current students, reminisced in meeting room in Mechanical Building. For the alumni, the memories of their alma mater are like a suitcase stuffed with souvenirs and memorabilia, a suitcase they can't wait to open in order to show you what's inside. It was stories of love, loss and friendships that forged alumni share their memories at the reunion. They felt the excitement and history that seemed to bounce off the walls of mechanical building. Some also remembered significant moments during their university year.
