SPCH class of ’88 meets on campus
In September 2008 members of the SPCH class of ’88 gathered on campus for their reunion, using Biltz Hall for lodging, a Saturday noon meal, fellowship and visiting. Since they planned their reunion the weekend of the Concordia Fall Festival, time was spent in downtown Concordia taking in the sights, sounds and festivities of the annual event. During the tour of the campus, the class paused at the Quad street sign. At the 2008 auction, the class purchased the right to name the Quad. They named the Quad Gudorf-Campbell Lane in memory of the two classmates, Victor Gudorf and Michael Campbell.

They also gathered at the tree between Heilman Hall and Moeller Hall, planted on Arbor Day 1988, the brainstorm of their classmate and student body president, Brad Royuk. The tree was officially named RoyOak.
