Montana Comes Home - Alumni Homecoming and John Mather's 80th birthday 2023
Can you believe it took a whole 5 years?! But finally, we reunited on the Bergli again, and it was pure magic!
Smiles, contagious laughter, and even tears of joy were all around us, reminding us of the warmth of lasting friendships that reach out across the globe and telling stories of how close the Montana community is, across oceans and decades. It's inspiring that what brings us together is not our age or background, but our shared memories and experiences from our time on the Zugerberg!
17:30 and already over 150 of us arrived on campus for the Opening Ceremony and the spirit of Montana was in the air!
Throughout the event, we were reminded of the strength of Montana's foundations - the value of every individual, and the importance of diversity, integration, and international harmony.
