More than 600 Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ alumni, family, and friends are set to return to campus this week to take part in Reunion 2025.
The gathering on campus, running June 19-22, will include dozens of activities, from multiple Alumni College presentations and an all-reunion cookout to the annual parade of classes and a convocation featuring Alumni Awards and class gifts.
Alumni from at least 34 states and 14 countries will be on campus. They represent a wide spectrum of classes, from the 10th reunion to the 50th.
Reunion is but one connecting point for alumni. In the past year, nearly 1,300 alumni attended an event, shared a class note, or volunteered their time. Fifty-nine alumni volunteers helped plan this year’s Reunion. Seven former Alumni Award recipients are expected to be in attendance.
Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ will be celebrating Reunions for the following classes and clusters:

Among the highlights of Reunion will be gatherings that celebrate study abroad experiences. There will be a London Centre reunion that’s expected to draw upwards of 90 participants. And the Class of 1975 will host a gathering of alumni who studied in Eningen, Germany.
Also, alumni will get a chance to tour Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ’s newest academic spaces. An open house is planned for Fox Commons, which is home to the Business and Entrepreneurship Center, student apartments, and the soon-to-open Pre-Health Commons. And guided tours are planned for West Campus, the soon-to-open four-story building at the intersection of E. College Avenue and Drew Street that will house the nonprofit Trout Museum of Art on the first floor, Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ academic spaces on the second floor, and apartments on the third and fourth floors.
For those wanting to stay active during Reunion, the Coach Gene Davis Memorial Fun Run/Walk is set for 8 a.m. Saturday.
There also will be beer gardens hosted by 15th and 35th Reunion clusters.
