Update on Reunion 2021: This year’s Reunion — taking place April 30, May 1, and May 2 — will be entirely virtual.

While we had hoped that by Spring 2021 the public health situation would have improved to the point where Brown could host a once-in-a-lifetime double Reunion and Commencement Weekend to cheer on both 2020 and 2021 graduates in person, the health and well-being of the Brown community must remain our top priority. This means we should continue to avoid large gatherings to the greatest extent possible.

Making the decision now to hold virtual events gives us the time we need to plan for a compelling lineup of virtual Reunion programming — one that will provide innovative ways for our alumni to reconnect, preserve the spirit of one of Brown’s most beloved celebrations and, at the same time, protect the health and safety of every member of the full Brown community.

Read more about plans for both Reunion and Commencement in the letter sent on January 21 to the campus community by President Christina H. Paxson. Check back here in the coming weeks for updates about Reunion plans.
