Alumni Reunions and P-rade

Reunions

The Class of 2010 is a guest of Princeton Reunions, and seniors are welcome free of charge at all Reunions Headquarters sites. Seniors may register up to five guests in advance using the form distributed at Senior Checkout. Seniors can obtain their wristbands, which must be shown to gain entry to Reunion sites, starting Wednesday, May 26. Seniors and guests must bring photo IDs (including birth dates) to pick up wristbands, class buttons, and general information. Each attendee must come in person to pick up his or her wristband, though guests need not be accompanied by their senior sponsor. Please understand that there are times (such as during class dinners, meetings, or special events) when some major Reunion classes find it necessary to limit admission of visitors. Seniors will receive the Reunions registration schedule at Senior Checkout in May. Copies of the Reunions schedules, including a list of Alumni Faculty Forums, are available at the Office of the Alumni Association, Maclean House, during Reunions. Additional information regarding Reunions is available on the Alumni Association Web site at http://alumni.princeton.edu/main/goinback/reunions/.
