About

We met as strangers in 1979 with the common goal of continuing our education and earning a higher degree from a prominent HBCU.  Freshman year was filled with learning who was from what part of the country and making connections in that way.  However, by the time four years passed, we were no longer separated by regions but forever connected by the common bond of being Hamptonians, the memorable times shared, and the friendships that would grow beyond the grounds of what was etched in our hearts as Hampton Institute.

Hampton University holds many fond memories for us all!  We connected with friends for life.  We have furthered our educations, developed and changed careers, experienced weddings, births, deaths.  We have retold stories of times gone by. Yes, 1983 charted the foundation for who we would become.

No matter your geographic location, it is through this web site, homecomings and reunions we are able to connect with those we knew and did not know from our class; develop new personal and professional connections; and, retell the stories you said you would never mention again! Through this site, we will do just that - Reconnect and Unify the Radiance Class.
