The annual gathering of the Pioneer Society—those alumni who graduated from the University at least 50 years ago—took place during Homecoming festivities on October 7. 

More than 70 members were in attendance at the breakfast, which was held at The Brownstone House in Paterson.  President Arnold Speert addressed the group, and welcomed the Class of 1956 as the newest members. 

The oldest alumna present was Edith (Scibetta) Salva of Leonia, a 1931 graduate of the New Jersey State Normal School at Paterson, as the University was then known.
