Remarks From Past Attendees

"The whole day was so memorable."

"I enjoyed the sharing of stories. It was also encouraging to hear from President Hoekstra. Dordt is in good hands! I was very glad I went! Thanks for all the work that was put in to making this event happen!"

"It was very well done! Every staff member involved could not have been nicer or more helpful! Thank you so much for the day!!!"

"I loved the entire experience. The dedication of Dr. and President Hoekstra to carry on the mission of DU and to its students was front and center. I especially loved hearing from classmates in the evening and ending the reunion with singing and more time to connect as we parted ways. Soli Deo Gloria!"
