Reunion Weekend 2021
After consulting campus partners and alumni leaders, and closely monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the extraordinarily difficult decision to host this year’s Reunion (June 3-6, 2021) virtually instead of on campus as we had hoped.
Reunion is a deeply cherished tradition at Georgetown, one that we look forward to hosting on the Hilltop each spring. We know a virtual Reunion will never fully replace an in-person one, but it does afford us the opportunity to celebrate creatively and to welcome more Hoyas to participate who might not typically be able to attend in person. Additionally, this will be a truly unique event as this will be the first time we will celebrate two Reunion cycles (2020 and 2021) together.
Please consider joining your class committee and/or sharing your thoughts and ideas via this survey.
For more information, please read Paul Lanzone’s message to the alumni community and the frequently asked questions below.
I especially take comfort knowing this event will be a success because of you. While there is no setting more perfect for Reunion than the Hilltop, you, the alumni, are what makes the event truly special. And I am grateful that this year’s format will make Reunion more accessible to even more Hoyas across the world. Thank you for your continued understanding and support. We look forward to celebrating with you June 3–6.
—Paul Lanzone, Associate Vice President, Alumni Engagement
