Reunion Events

Unless otherwise indicated, all Reunion events will be hosted on Zoom. For the best experience, we recommend downloading the Zoom desktop client or app for your mobile device (including iPads and other tablets). If you are unfamiliar with Zoom, you may find these resources from Swarthmore’s ITS department helpful.

Events are being planned by Class Reunion Committees and the Office of Alumni and Parent Engagement. As plans are finalized, event details and registrations will be added to this page.
