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 2027: Saturday, June 12
Mark your calendars! For the first time, experience Reunion in one place—one community on the One Simmons campus. Alumnae/i from across classes and generations will come together for an unforgettable event.
Reconnect with classmates, catch up with old friends, make new connections, and celebrate the classes ending in 2 and 7, and those marking their 10th, 25th, and 50th reunions. Along the way, enjoy everything that makes Reunion special, including the Presidential Lunch, State of the University address, beloved traditions, the Alumnae/i Association Annual Meeting and Awards Breakfast, continuous learning opportunities, new programming, and more.
And you don’t need to be celebrating a milestone Reunion—all classes are welcome!
Registration and more details are coming soon. For now, save the date and make plans to reconnect at Reunion 2027.
