Dear Fratres,
We hope everyone is enjoying the current basketball season! It is exciting (and very different) to see Coach Odom’s style of play!
We are proud to announce that a SAM alumnus, Bob Byron (Col class of ’73, Law class of ’76) has been appointed to the UVA Board of Visitors. Congratulations to Bob!
We are excited to announce the date for the SAM Fall Reunion: October 22-25, 2026. Now that the football schedule has been announced, we decided on this weekend, so we can see the rematch to the ACC Championship game. The game date hasn’t yet been released, but it should be October 23 or 24. We will confirm when the ACC announces!
Accommodation Details
We have a block reservation from Thursday, October 22, to Sunday, October 25, at the Hampton Inn and Suites on 900 West Main Street in Charlottesville. Though we enjoyed the Draftsman hotel last year, the Draftsman instituted surge pricing for football weekends, and the Hampton had a much better deal.
To book your room online, visit our booking link and use the code C-92K. To book over the phone, call 434-978-7888 and let them know you are booking for SAM’s 2026 reunion.
Get Ready
More details are on the way! Though we are months out, October will be here in no time. Here’s what you can do to get ready:
- 📅 Mark your calendars for October 22-25, 2026
- 📢 Spread the Word! Call, text, and email friends in your SAM alumni network to make sure they’re coming back for this can’t-miss weekend! Know an alum not receiving these emails? Share this signup form with them!
- 📧 Update your information: Make sure your information is up to date so you can stay in touch!
If you have any questions about the weekend, please reach out to me over email: guscallaway@gmail.com.
Fast and Firm,
Gus Callaway (Com class of ’80)
