Reunion Weekend 2005

  • Feature Stories

On a spring weekend in late April, more than 450 alumnae from 14 classes returned to campus to celebrate and remember their time at Scripps. It was an opportunity to reconnect with classmates, present their class gifts to the College, celebrate the success of the Campaign for the Scripps Women, and be a part of class dinners and photos, as well as the dedication of Mary Wig Johnson Court.

On Saturday, April 30, Reunion Convocation included the presentation of alumnae awards. The Outstanding Recent Alumna Award, honoring an alumna in the early stages of her work, was presented to Karen Deutsch ’97. Karen has dedicated herself to various humanitarian efforts in places such as Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Sierre Leone, Angola, China, and Sri Lanka. She received a master’s degree in public health and forced migration from Columbia University. Her particular focus has been on health education and AIDS prevention.

Dede Allen Fleischman ’45 was the recipient of the Distinguished Alumna Award for her work as one of the film industry’s top editors. Allen edited such films as Bonnie and Clyde, The Hustler, Serpico, and Wonder Boys and worked with directors Robert Wise, Arthur Penn, Robert Rossen, and Sidney Lumet, among many other luminaries. In 1998, Allen received the Outstanding Achievement in Editing Award at the 3rd Annual Hollywood Film Festival, and in 1994, the American Cinema Editors Lifetime Achievement Award. Allen attended her 60th reunion with her husband of 59 years, Steve Fleischman.

Reunion Weekend included a presentation of class gifts during the convocation ceremony in Balch Auditorium. This year’s reunion classes pledged an impressive $783,502 to Scripps.

Alumnae have until June 30, the end of the College’s fiscal year, to help their class improve its participation by making a gift to Scripps. To make your gift online, visit the Scripps College Giving site.
