Reunions

How much does it cost to attend Reunions?

This year, Reunions includes a $25 registration fee. Our goal is to protect and enhance the Reunions experience — not to change its spirit.

Alumni consistently tell us they want a weekend that feels welcoming, high-quality, and rooted in Reed’s unique sense of community. This modest registration fee helps us maintain and grow the programs alumni love, create more opportunities for connection, and plan thoughtfully based on accurate attendance.

This change also allows us to preserve the community-centered nature of Reunions, rather than shifting toward a high-ticket model like many colleges have done.

In addition to the registration fee, dorms and some meals are ticketed, but most events are free!

Do I have to wear my wristband all weekend?

Yes. We are requiring registered guests to wear wristbands for proof of registration and to let us know you are supposed to be on campus for the safety of our community.

If you lose your wristband, please go to Prexy for a new one.

Wristbands are required to purchase  beverages at the bar/s.

What is Reunions Central? 

Reunions Central is in Prexy House. It is where all guests must check-in (don’t miss out on your free drink ticket!), check-out and do any last minute registrations. It’s also where we’re able to address guests’ questions or miscellaneous needs. When in doubt, help can be found at Reunions Central.

Hours:

• Thursday 12:30–6 p.m. (opens at 11:30 a.m. for volunteers)
• Friday 8 a.m.–8 p.m.
• Saturday 8 a.m.–8 p.m.
• Sunday 8 a.m.–1 p.m.

What will I be picking up at Reunions Central?

Each pouch should contain the following items:
Name badge (preferred first name, last name, class year, hometown)
Wristband for proof of registration (look inside the pouch!)
Meal tickets (if purchased)
Donor stickers will be provided if applicable
Ribbons for different committees will be inside the pouches

DORMS

Dorm beds must be purchased during registration as they fill up. Each attendee who needs a bed must purchase a ticket and will have the bed for the whole weekend. The fee includes disposable bedding and a towel.

Each bed is $75 and yours for the weekend. 

Please help us by returning your key to Reunions Central in Prexy when you leave.  If you or one of your party does not return their key upon checkout, a $250 rekey fee may apply.

How do golf carts shuttles work?

To aid with accessibility on campus and in the name of making Reunions more inclusive to all, Alumni Relations is introducing a golf cart shuttle service this year. During the times listed below, Reunions attendees can TEXT 503-517-4050 to request a ride, and a driver will pick them up and take them to their desired location on campus. We hope this ensures that everyone, regardless of mobility, can easily move around campus. During peak times, response rates may be slower!

Hours:

• • • Thursday: 1–8 p.m.
    • Friday: 8 a.m.–10 p.m.
    • Saturday: 8 a.m.–11 p.m.
    • Sunday: 8 a.m.–1 p.m.

Can guests do laundry on campus?

Yes. It’s free now, so laundry cards aren’t needed. There is a laundry room in each dorm. Detergent is not provided.

Can guests store their luggage anywhere?

Alumni Relations staff, including Reunions workers, cannot watch luggage. 

Can alumni host their own events at Reunions?

Yes, but the deadline to propose an event is April 1.

If you would like to submit an idea for an event, please fill out this form. Keep in mind that you will be the host and your help and presence is required.

Can alumni bring additional guests/pets?
