Overview

As of April 4, 2024, housing for Reunion arrivals June 13th and later have moved to a waitlist. We cannot guarantee that on-campus housing will become available.

35th Reunion
Where the ’89s Are
June 13–16, 2024

Welcome to the Class of 1989 35th Reunion page! Our reunion is going to be a weekend of fun, good vibes, opportunities to enjoy great themed programming and meals, and time spent reconnecting on campus.

A great deal of thought was put into our pricing structure to allow for an enjoyable reunion while being as affordable as possible. Early bird registration ends on April 3, so you are encouraged to register before then to get the best price. If pricing presents a hardship, please know that partial or full funding is available. All requests will be handled confidentially and will go directly to Antonia Nedder at antonianedder@gmail.com. I cannot stress enough how important it is that everyone feel happy and comfortable about coming to our reunion.

If you are interested in extending our reunion with a stay at Moosilauke or taking part in an ’89 bike ride on the Northern Rail Trail, please see the information below.

Information about children’s and teens’ programs can be found here. All programming is included in the registration fee.

Questions? Email Reunion Chair Antonia Nedder anytime at antonianedder@gmail.com.

Please come to Reunion! I hope to see you there!
