Scenes include presentations and attendees socializing with one another and walking together outside. Images show children, alumni, students, administrative staff, and faculty members and include close-ups of individuals as well as small groups in conversation. Included are photographs of Onawumi Jean Moss (Associate Dean of Students at Amherst College, 1985-2006), who received an award during the weekend, Peter Pouncey (President of Amherst College, 1984-1994), and alumnus Ulric Hayes Jr., who presented the keynote address. Interior portions of Charles Drew House and Merrill Dining Commons can be seen in the background. These photographs were taken by the College Photographer for the Office of Public Affairs (now the Office of Communications). Frank Ward was the College Photographer from 1984-2005. |
