On November 10, 2009, Johnson College welcomed local alumni back to campus for its “Get Connected – Scranton” event. The event assembled members of classes ranging from 1952 to 2009, some returning to campus for the first time since they graduated.
Attendees were welcomed by Katie Leonard, Johnson College’s Director of Development, and Tami Pease, Associate Director of Development. Explaining the purpose of the event, Tami Pease stated, “Reconnecting with alumni is extremely important to us. These ‘Get Connected’ events help us celebrate Johnson College’s past, showcase our progress, and highlight the promise of our future.”
Alumnus Joseph Yusinski ’93 also addressed the crowd and urged his fellow alumni to get more involved with their alma mater by joining the Alumni Association. He stressed the significance of camaraderie among fellow alumni and the value of helping future generations of Johnson College students.
The event allowed alumni to network with fellow graduates as well as past and present members of Johnson College faculty and staff. The College’s departments of Continuing Education and Industrial Relations were on hand to speak with alumni about available training in their fields as well as job opportunities.
Alumni cherished the opportunity to reminisce about their time at Johnson College. Photographs and copies of The Johnsonian, Johnson College’s newsletter, were on display, portraying the College’s journey from the early 1900s to the present. The alumni added to the nostalgia of the evening by sharing their own memories with each other. William Smith ‘52 delighted listeners with a rendition of the Johnson College song from years past.
A highlight for many was the campus tour conducted by Dominick Carachilo ’82, Johnson College’s Vice President of Academic Affairs. While the College has transformed though the years, many areas of campus continue to maintain a special place in history. Anthony Colozza ’59 exclaimed, “This brings back a lot of memories!”
The Johnson College Development Office enjoys creating events for alumni to get together and plans to continue its “Get Connected” events around the country.

It is always good to get alumni together and talk about all the good time they had while in college together.

Wish I could have made it, thanks for sharing and remind me for the next one!
Getting Alumni involved with the college is great for past and future students. It is great to see the Alumni taking part in this event.
Excellent that Alumni is getting involved. It is important to network with previous graduates!
A few week ago I stumbled about my old class mates community on the net. Rose long forgotten details, but on most of the old photos I could’n recognise a lot of my school time friends which I had nochance to see since decades.
Great site & nice young set of alumni! I wish I would have attended my alumni reunion. The memories! Thanks for sharing the photos!
I had a friend who went to Johnson Technical College and he absolutely loved it! He was disappointed that he did not get to attend the Alumni banquet.
I will have to tell him to come visit this blog.
Thanks for sharing your pictures. As a college alumni from NJ, I hope to reunite with some of my old classmates soon
Good picture, I am not being there, but I’m always happy when hanging out with old friends who do not see you, thanks for reminding. ~ Kisah Sejati
I thought this is about affiliate marketing but anyway I like the guy with the long beard. If he is the marketing guy, I would be glad to be hi affiliate!
Great reunion! Can’t wait and the picture was priceless. Keep me informed…Rob
I thought that the guy was zztop on weight watchers. Looks like a nice event. Plan on having a 2010 event?
Everybody is looking good!
This looks like a great get together. Interesting to see such the wide variety of graduating years among classmates. I too would have to agree. Dominick Carachilo looks like a salesman/marketer of some sort.
Looks like a great get together. I do love photos of people smiling as there is enough bad news about.
Reminded me of my recent get together
This is awesome! Over 100 years old as well!
It’s wonderful to see these people sharing these moments

What an awesome idea to bring together Alumni from 1952 to 2009. I can only imagine the amount of people who were surprised to know who else attended Johnson College. I’m sure a lot of memories were shared and new friendships formed. Hopefully more schools will do something similar.
Thanks for sharing!

Wow, that nice that they invited all the alumni who graduated from different years. I didn’t think that was possible. In any case, it seems like a good place to network with other alumni to get involve with projects and share ideas.
Great website I love the article
Johnson College should do this more often, it helps keep the school current by keeping tabs on the flock who have flown the coop.
Seems you have a great team. Thanks!

That is very good comment you shared.Thank you so much that for you shared those things with us.I’m wishing you to carry on with your achievements.All the best.
Thanks for sharing! It’s really a great experience when you go back to your alma mater and seeing your former classmates and schoolmates. It’s great to see people you used to accompany with, and it’s a good thing to keep that strong relationship with them. At the same time, you should continue to join your university’s activities as an alumna. That’s giving back to them the good things you’ve learned from them.
This is a great way of marketing, I am very impressed with how your arrangements are, it’s a better way to market like the guru makrers.
Alumni gatherings are great because we get to mingle with our seniors and learn from each other as well. It is great networking session.
great post its always good to see alumni return back
Nice reunion…
It’s great to see alumni get together. This constant stay in touch will help people in the long run and eventually form a network. A great reunion!

My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You have made some pretty good points there. I looked on the web for the issue and found most people will go along with your web-site.
I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever… Beyond Diet
A helpful topic merits comment. It is my opinion that you should publish even more on this subject, it could possibly not be considered a taboo issue but normally people are insufficient to discuss on this kind of information. To the next. Cheers
