And other reflections from the class of 1984

Join the Catholic Church. Don’t marry a musician! Trust your instincts and marry Elaine sooner.

And other reflections from the class of 1984

To help us with our 1984-themed special issue of Life & Letters, we sent out an in-depth survey to all members of the class of 1984 for whom we could track down current email addresses. Our primary goal was to find some leads on who to interview and how to think about the stories we’d write, but we also hoped to elicit some interesting responses to publish. Below is a brief selection of lightly edited responses to a few of the questions on the survey. We kept in anonymous so that we could include some of the spicier answers.

If you’re interested in filling out (a less ’80s-centric version of) the survey for possible inclusion in future issues of the magazine or on our Alumni Updates page, you can find the survey here.
