1. All on-campus visitors (including children 2+) encouraged to provide proof of vaccination (or a negative PCR test) to attend.
2. And all on-campus visitors must wear their name badge while they are on campus.
3. Alumni Programs staff and volunteers will check for name badges at all indoor events.
4. Extra face coverings and hand sanitizer will be available at registration and event check-in tables.
5. We will follow all COVID-19 safety protocols for food service as set by local and state guidelines.
6. All Reunions attendees will be required to follow the regulations set in Reed College’s COVID-19 Response and Action Plan.
Can I attend if it’s not my reunion year?

Dorm Room FAQs
Can I reserve more than one room? Yes. You can choose how many rooms you want when you register for Reunions
Can I choose the type or room or dorm I am in? You can add special requests when you register for Reunions, but we cannot promise to accommodate every request. ADA and family requests will be considered first.
Can my pet(s) stay with me in the dorm? No. The only pets allowed inside campus buildings, including dorms, are registered service animals.
What is provided with my dorm reservation? You will be provided one key and one swipe card (two keys and two swipes for double rooms), and one pack of disposable linens. We strongly suggest you bring your own bedding to make your stay more comfortable!
Can I bring a space heater or fan? NO! If you need additional heat or a fan, please find a Reunions staff member and they will help you out.
What is Alumni College?
Alumni College is an important part of our Alumni Engagement plan and is an opportunity for Reed alumni to gather and learn from each other and current faculty. Every year we select a theme and invite alumni and current/past faculty to present lectures related to the overarching topic.
This year's Alumni College will be held on June 7 and 8 leading into Reunions Weekend.
Registration for Alumni College opens on March 1.
