Reunion memories
These memories will make you feel like you're back on the Hill again.
Relive past ReunionsUntil we know if we can gather on campus, we’re planning as if we will see you in person. Important decisions regarding Reunion 2021 will be shared in the coming months. Don’t miss out on future communications; visit the alumni directory to confirm or update your contact information.
Unfortunately, the Cornell campus does not have the capacity to host 2020 and 2021 Reunions concurrently. Nearly 8,000 people attend Reunion weekend annually. Potential restrictions on the size of in-person gatherings in 2021 would further impact our ability to accommodate large groups.
Under normal circumstances, campus is bustling with activity throughout the summer. If we're able to gather on campus, the timing of summer events—Commencement, summer sessions, youth camps and conferences—does not allow for two separate full Reunion weekends.
Alumni Affairs is grateful to the Class of 2016 for shifting their 5th Reunion celebration one weekend earlier (June 3-6) and inviting the Class of 2015 to join them (if we are able to host in-person Reunion gatherings for 2021). Doing so frees up much needed on-campus housing accommodations for those wishing to attend Reunion 2021, June 10-13. The 5th Reunion is often the first large class-focused alumni event for our young alumni and is critical to continued engagement with the university and as a class.
Should we be able to gather on campus for Reunion 2021, we will offer the opportunity for alumni to register for Reunion as Non-Reunion Year attendees, although on-campus housing for Non-Reunion Year alumni cannot be guaranteed.
