More than 200 C.W. Post alumni gathered at the New York Athletic Club in Manhattan on Thursday, June 5, 2008 to celebrate a great milestone - the graduation of C.W. Post's 100,000th alumnus, and to reconnect with classmates, administrators, deans and faculty.

Alumni mingled and reunited with friends and enjoyed music from the C.W. Post Jazz Quartet. Alumni Association President Bob Jahelka '84 began the speaking program with a welcome to alumni guests. Eric Tveter, a trustee of Long Island University and a member of the class of 1980, welcomed the group on behalf of the Board of Trustees. Dr. Steinberg, president of Long Island University, also addressed the audience, encouraging them to visit campus and emphasized the significance in becoming more involved with the Alumni Association and University.
