Alumnae Reunion
Reunion is about coming home.
Reunion 2021: April 9-10
To make coming home as easy as possible, we've simplified the registration process, and made the registration cost as reasonable as we possibly can.
Early Bird Pricing is $75 for all events, and $45 for a non-participant guest ONLY attending the Friday picnic and Saturday Reception and Class Dinner.
All Class Dinner arrangements are being made by the College so an Only Class Dinner option is available for $40. Starting April 5, 2021, the week of Reunion, registration will be $85 for all attendees, excluding the $40 Only Class Dinner option. Please note: By request, all events will feature a cash bar; no drink tickets are included.
Reunion headquarters and a refreshment station are in LRW 317 in the Oberdorfer Alumnae Welcome Center. You'll find information about the schedule, lodging, organizing committee, frequently asked questions below.
