Reunion
At Simmons, Reunion is an annual event that brings alumnae/i together to build and celebrate community among our alumnae/i, increase pride for Simmons today, promote Simmons for the next generation, support life-long learning, and raise funds to support Simmons’ mission and our students’ success. It’s an opportunity to reminisce and reflect on your Simmons experience while creating meaningful connections.
Reunion 2025 will be in celebration of the 125th Anniversary of Simmons! This history-making event will take place June 6 - 8, 2025 so be sure to save the date. We hope all alumnae/i and former and current faculty and staff will join us back on campus. Milestone classes will also have the opportunity to celebrate their class reunion during that time. More details to follow. This event is being co-hosted by the Simmons Alumnae/i Association.
