This year, the Owen Reunion 2018 will be held on Friday, October 12 and Saturday, October 13. (There is also an invitation-only Owen Circle reception that will be held the night of Thursday, October 11.) Attendees can chat with classmates at the Friday night reception, cheer on the Vanderbilt Commodores football team against the Florida Gators, attend the class party at popular new venue Topgolf, and so much more. Here are just a few of the folks who joined us.
