It's time to save the date to register for Reunion 2026, happening May 22 - 24, 2025! (With a bonus day for 50th Reunion and your Perennial Reunion classes on May 21.) All alumni are invited back for a weekend filled with old friends, familiar places and lots of laughs. Plan to attend a Thursday evening dinner for Perennial alumni, a Friday morning coffee chat and the Friday afternoon parade of classes down Middle Path followed by a welcome picnic. And get ready to dance, sing and enjoy the Kenyon of it all at the All-Reunion Soiree Saturday evening!
We will open registration for Reunion Weekend 2026 to Perennial Reunion classes celebrating a reunion beyond their 50th (that's you!) on Monday, Feb. 2, 2026. We recommend registering promptly for the best chance at securing your desired housing.
Registration will open to a wider audience on March 2 (all alumni in a reunion year) and March 30 (all alumni). It will close on Monday, May 4, at 8 p.m. ET.
