More than 260 guests, including alumni, family, and friends, attended the reception in Washington, D.C. National Science Foundation Chairman Arden Bement Jr. (at left) was among the speakers who delivered remarks at the event. Outgoing RAA President Robert Forman ’61 and William Walker, vice president for strategic communications and external relations, also brought congratulatory remarks.
