Help Change Lives 
Mark your calendar and cross your fingers. We hope to welcome you back to the Hill in June with three reunion cohorts celebrating together. Imagine spending the weekend with three out of four classes that shared campus with you – it’s going to be one Hill of a Party!Hamilton College's COVID-19 guidelines and policies: Reunion Weekend has been totally redesigned to allow for most events and gatherings to take place outside. In order to enter campus buildings, attendees must be vaccinated and have received the booster for COVID-19. We strongly recommend you take a PCR COVID-19 test within three days of the event or a rapid antigen test the day before you arrive on campus to be sure that you are not carrying the virus. Any changes in protocol will be communicated immediately. Please visit the College’s spring operating plan for a comprehensive list of COVID-19 policies. At this time, N95/K95 face coverings are required indoors. Your attention to these guidelines, and your support for the health and safety of Hamilton students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests are greatly appreciated.
John Pitarresi ’70 will present at the 50th Reunion Medallion Ceremony on Thursday. The 1972 Half-Century Annalist Letter by Steven Wulf ’72, P’12, Jon Hysell ’72, P’04, and J.K. Hage ’72, P’02,’12, and the Kirkland Charter Class Half-Century Annalist Letter by Betty Marmon K’72 will be presented during the Reunion Assembly on Saturday morning. Rory Radding ’71 will present at the Annual Meeting of the Alumni Association on Saturday afternoon.
A reunion tradition, Alumni Colleges highlight the accomplishments of graduates and provide a rich educational program to balance the social activities of the weekend. Alumni College topics range from current issues in politics, leadership, and entrepreneurship, to making movies, writing, and more.
Alumni who belong to a fraternity, sorority, or private society are invited to reconnect with fellow members regardless of class year. Meetings are open to members, while lectures, Friday night houseparties hosted by the organizations are open to all alumni.
The legacy of Kirkland changed the Hill and enriched the Hamilton experience. Celebrate Kirkland’s history with alumnae from every class year.
Your one-time reunion registration fee provides you access to campus facilities, Alumni Colleges, music, and other entertainment throughout the weekend. It includes the Saturday picnic, but it does not include on-campus housing or additional meals, which are available à la carte. A portion of your registration fee supports financial aid and counts toward your reunion class gift.
Reunion Weekend kicks off on Thursday with the 50th medallion ceremony, followed by an informal reception and dinner for the Classes of 1970, 1971, and HK1972. Weekend highlights include Alumni Colleges, the reunion parade, the presentation of the half-century annalist letters, 50th lunches and dinners, and the Bell Ringer Award, presented to Kirkland President Sam Babbitt during the Reunion Assembly.
