Reunion Weekend is Thursday, May 29 – Sunday, June 1, 2025.

We look forward to welcoming friends and alumni from class years ending in five and zero and all post-50^th reunion classes, also known as the Old Guard, back to campus.

A preliminary schedule is available online. The Reunion Weekend mobile app and detailed schedule, including times and locations of events and meals, will be available in early May on the Reunion site.

During Reunion Weekend a limited number of campus events will be offered virtually – such as Saturday morning’s Convocation ceremony which will be livestreamed.

Registration is available online at bowdoin.edu/reunion. If you have questions or need assistance registering, please contact the Office of Alumni Relations at reunion@bowdoin.edu or 207-725-3266.

Preregistration is required and closes on Monday, May 26. Walk-in registrations will be accommodated as space allows and walk-in rates will apply.

Absolutely! We encourage returning alumni to bring their families. All activities and programs are open to anyone who is on campus for the weekend.

Yes, alumni who are not part of an official reunion class but who would like to attend are welcome to do so – these alumni should register for the reunion of the class closest to their own class year.

The per-adult fee varies by class. Children (ages 17 and younger) are free! Once arriving on campus for Reunion, it is an all-inclusive weekend and there are not additional fees assessed to participate in individual activities. Fees help cover the costs associated with all Reunion activities like meals, beverages, entertainment, and much more. �պ��ֲ� strives to make participation in Reunion as affordable as possible, and the College substantially subsidizes the cost of the Weekend.

�պ��ֲ� is dedicated to making Reunion financially feasible for all classmates. Registration offers Full Weekend, Partial Weekend, and Saturday Day package pricing options. While the College substantially subsidizes the cost of Reunion, �պ��ֲ� recognizes that for some classmates the cost of attending Reunion may be a hardship. In those situations, financial assistance is available, and requests should be sent to Holly Rogers or Tracie Knight in the Office of Alumni Relations at reunion@bowdoin.edu. Please note, assistance is not available for transportation, off-campus lodging, or other non-Reunion fee related expenses. All requests will be considered and will remain confidential.

If cancellation of a Reunion reservation or on-campus room is necessary, individuals will be reimbursed in full for cancellations made prior to Thursday, May 15, 2025. Due to planning commitments we make with off-campus vendors and other partners, we regret that we cannot offer refunds for cancellations received after this date.

On-campus housing is open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights of Reunion and available according to registration package. Housing is extremely limited and will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. All individuals must be registered for Reunion Weekend for housing assignments to be made.

Housing is provided primarily in residence halls and College Houses. A limited number of apartments are available on a first come, first served basis and can be requested when registering.

Accommodations in all facilities include twin beds and very minimal furnishings. Each attendee registered for on-campus housing will be provided with a set of sheets and towels, a blanket, and a pillow. Attendees are encouraged to bring additional pillows, blankets, or other amenities. There are very limited private bathrooms. The College makes every effort to house classmates and guests of a given Reunion class in the same building.

College policy prohibits pets in campus buildings including all academic, administrative, and student residential buildings. Please note that this does not apply to service animals, which are welcome.

Since housing is extremely limited, we encourage considering off-campus accommodations. The Visitor Resources site lists hotels conveniently located to �պ��ֲ� and many offer special �պ��ֲ� rates.

The Office of Alumni Relations will update a list of attendees on the Class Pages once a week.

Once you arrive on campus, please stop by the Reunion Welcome Center in Main Lounge, located on the first floor of Moulton Union, to pick up your registration information and Reunion Weekend name tag which will be checked at event entrances throughout the weekend.

Our Welcome Center will open on Thursday, May 29, at noon, as does on-campus housing. Sorry, but we’re unable to accommodate early arrivals.

Go to bowdoin.edu/admissions/visit for all in-person and virtual admissions offerings. Please note that there is limited capacity for all in-person admissions events and advance registration is requested.

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations are available on campus and details can be found on the College’s Green Transportation site.
