REGISTER NOW!

We want to help every member of the Emma family to participate in the celebration. If you have financial hardship, please email alumnae@emmawillard.org to request financial assistance. This is a fully confidential ask, and we will make every effort to help offset the expense of your registration fee. We are not able to provide financial support for travel, or other non-registration fee related expenses.

Our registration system only allows for two adults and two kids. If you have a larger party than registration allows, please reach out to the alumnae office at alumnae@emmawillard.org.

No, pets are not allowed in the dorms. Pets are allowed on the campus grounds, but not in campus buildings unless you have a medical need. Please look for local kennels, or speak to local hotels/rentals about pet accommodations.

Please enter campus via the Pawling Avenue Massry Gate, and you will see our student workers ready to welcome you and escort you into Sage Foyer to check in.

If you did not indicate that you wanted to reserve a dorm room when you registered, no need to register again. Simply contact our Alumnae Relations Office at alumnae@emmawillard.org and we would be more than happy to help!

No. Due to the rising cost of outsourcing this type of support, we will not be streaming any of our programming for Reunion 2024.

If you have discussed rooming with someone, please go ahead and provide their name on the reservation form when you choose a double room. Please ask your roommate to register as soon as possible and have them write your name as their roommate.

REGISTER NOW!
