Next year we will be holding an even larger homecoming than normal!
Due to the ongoing pandemic, it was decided by consensus that Homecoming 2020 and 2021 would be combined with Homecoming 2022. Making this the largest homecoming group to come together in a long time! It also marks our 150th anniversary. There will be much to celebrate!
This years’ reunion classes are: 1945, 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015.
Earlier this year, a survey was emailed to all 2020 and 2021 reunion classes to seek input regarding your class reunion event, which is normally held during ICO’s Homecoming in early fall. The consensus among reunion class responses was to reschedule Homecoming this year and combine it with next year’s Homecoming, when travel is easier/safer, and masks will be a thing of the past.
Therefore, Homecoming 2020 and 2021 will be rescheduled and combined with Homecoming 2022. Reunion years will be all class years ending with
0, 1, 2, 5, 6, or 7.
In addition to the 2022 class reunions, we're looking forward to several exciting activities celebrated during 2022, as it is also ICO's 150th Anniversary! ICO is the first optometric institution to reach this milestone!
Please join us in 2022, as we plan to have an incredible year of celebrations!
