More than 2,000 alumni, family members, and friends were back on campus in June to celebrate and reconnect with fellow classmates, mentors, faculty, and staff. From energetic dance parties in the Big Tent to bonfires and s’mores on the Hill of Three Oaks to quiet times of reflection in the Chapel (plus all the campus tours and Alumni Colleges in between), Reunion 2024 had an event for every Carl.

Following Saturday’s iconic Parade of Classes, class gifts were presented at Reunion Convocation after the announcement of this year’s Alumni Association Awards and ‘C’ Club Inductees. The Class of 1974 made history with the largest-ever 50th Reunion gift: more than $65 million raised in support of key initiatives including the establishment of a new building focused on student health and well-being.

Don’t forget to mark your calendars for Reunion 2025: June 20–22!
