Mark Your Calendar: Elms College Reunion Dates Are Set!
We are excited to be able to welcome alumni back to campus for Reunion. This year we have a lot to make up for and will be hosting two very special Reunions this fall.

Saturday, September 25, 2021
Most classes that end in 0, 1, 5, and 6 will be returning to campus for a special
"double the fun" Reunion experience. Outdoor events, Men's and Women's Soccer, Class gatherings and celebrating all things Elms!

Saturday, October 2, 2021
The classes of 1970 and 1971 will both host their special Golden Blazer Reunions on this day. Each class will have its own Golden Blazer ceremony, luncheon, class meeting, and more. We want both classes to enjoy their special honor together, while also allowing each class its own personal experience.

We know that many alumni are ready to be back on campus and we can't wait to welcome you back. Over the next few months, we will be finalizing plans, sharing updates, and celebrating alumni successes. If you are interested in getting involved with planning,
class outreach, or fundraising for your class gift, email alumni@elms.edu

Alumni Poll: Ready for Elms College In Person Events
Not only are we beginning to plan for reunion events, we are gearing up to host a handful of small alumni gatherings this summer. They would be small events with limited attendance which follow all ElmsSafe COVID protocols. Thinking about activities such as Afternoon Tea at the Gaylord Mansion, class or program specific Fire Pit Nights on the Quad or an Outdoor Family Movie Night.
