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.

The Anniversary Reunion June 6-8, 2025 was an historic event uniting more than 400 alumnae/i—undergraduate, graduate, and online—from across decades and around the globe for three days of memories, connections, and Simmons spirit! This reunion was also a fundraiser to celebrate and support generations of Simmons students eager to meet societal needs.
