Reunion Weekend is June 6-8, 2008

Reunion is a time for reconnecting, and volunteers have the advantage of not only joining in that reconnection, but actually planning and implementing the activities that will keep the spirit of HWS alive for so many.

The goal of the Reunion Volunteer Toolbox is to provide you with the information you need to make your experience as a Reunion volunteer a great one. Please visit this page often, as we keep it updated with the most current Reunion information.

Reunion Committee Objectives
The goal of Reunion at HWS is to reconnect alumni and alumnae to the Colleges, as well as reconnect alumni and alumnae with each other. The Reunion Committee plays a very important role in this. Below are three keys to reconnection. The challenge for the Reunion Committee is to achieve all three of the following objectives with every classmate. If the Reunion Committee can accomplish this goal your class will have a tremendous reunion in June. Personally invite classmates to campus and pass on the details of Reunion Weekend a large number of alumni and alumnae from your class attend. Ask all classmates for a gift in honor of their reunion. Even if classmates can't attend, this is a great way for them to reconnect and to show their support of the Colleges. Confirm or correct contact information to make sure HWS can send your classmates their reunion information. It would be particularly helpful to secure the e-mail addresses of your classmates.
