Reunion Weekend
Reunion Weekend is an annual series of events that welcomes alumni back to campus in early June. It is important to note that each school at Columbia celebrates reunion weekend independently, but there is often a lot of cross-registration for events, especially amongst the undergraduate schools.
Who Can Attend
Reunion registration is often very complicated, as most events are open only to specific classes. Classes that are celebrating a "reunion year" are classes that are a multiple of five years out from graduation (so five years, ten, twenty-five, fifty, etc.). So in 2011, the Class of 2006 will celebrate its five year reunion, while the Class of 1961 will celebrate its fiftieth. These "reunion years" are able to attend all reunion events throughout the weekend.
All Columbia alumni, regardless of graduation year, are welcome to attend events on Dean's Day.
