Reunion/Homecoming

At Simmons University, Reunion is an annual event that celebrates classes on a 5-year cycle. The main goal of Reunion is to bring alumnae/i together to celebrate Simmons and one another, reminisce and reflect on your Simmons experience, create meaningful connections and encourage lifelong learning. It's an opportunity to rejoin the student experience!
