HWS: Reunion 2012

REUNION 2012

It’s my Reunion- How can I help?

1. Join the Reunion Committee (Get classmates back to campus for Reunion):

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 making this happen. Specifically, the responsibilities of the committee include:

Attending Reunion Weekend 2012, June 1-3.
Personally inviting classmates to campus and pass on the details of Reunion Weekend.
Confirm or correct contact information to make sure the Colleges can send your classmates Reunion information. It would be particularly helpful to secure the e-mail addresses of your classmates.

Join the Reunion Gift Committee to get involved. Help raise gifts in honor of your Reunion by participating on the classes fundraising committee.

3. Be a non-committee advocate (Doing your part without joining any formal committee)

Let your classmates know you are planning to attend by adding your name to the list of attendees, confirm your attendance the 2011 Reunion Facebook event, and comment on the "wall" of your classes Facebook page. Reach out to classmates and encourage them to mark their calendar for Reunion Weekend. And don't forget to make a gift to the Colleges in honor of your milestone Reunion; be sure to remind your classmates, teammates, and roommates to do the same.
