Ten years later, your journey is already experience worth sharing.
2017@10 shows that Reach-Back does not require decades of distance. Ten years of study, work, enterprise and adulthood can already help someone make a better-informed next move.
10 years in 2027
From Reunion to Responsibility
A more recent perspective
You still remember what the transition felt like.
The Class of 2017 can bring a more recent perspective that younger people may find especially relatable. Your experience of applications, further study, skills, work, entrepreneurship, setbacks and early adulthood can help make the next stage feel more understandable and achievable.
Part of one intergenerational movement
Where do you fit? What door can you open?
The six Reach-Back Generations make the movement easy to see, while the 2027@00 Successor Generation shows who the movement is reaching. Participation is open far beyond those years. Alumni from other classes, associations, schools, professionals, organisations and supporters can all help create a useful connection.
