It it's not my reunion year, can I still come?
Yes, everyone is welcome! Please go ahead and register to join in the fun!
How does the pass system work?
We offer three different passes for Reunion weekend:
-
A Weekend Pass with Housing (covers lodging in the dorms, all food, all drinks, and all programming)
-
A Weekend Pass without Housing (covers all food, all drinks, and all programming)
-
A Day Pass (covers all food, all drinks for one day. You can pick which day you will be attending) This pass is most ideal for Saturday for class dinners.
What if I want to attend reunion, but am concerned about the cost?
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.
What if I am bringing more people than registration allows?
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.
Can my pet stay with me in the dorms?
Where do I check in when I arrive on campus?
I have already registered without reserving a dorm room, but have changed my mind. What should I do?
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!
What if I can't attend in person? Will any reunion content be live streamed?
What if I register for a double, and my roommate has not yet registered?
