Goals
Throughout the planning process, always keep in mind your main goals for Reunion:
First, inspire your classmates to participate in Reunion. This will involve your committee’s personal outreach to alumni who may or may not currently be engaged with Cornell, while keeping the costs associated with Reunion as affordable as possible.
Second, plan a fun and meaningful experience for your classmates and their guests. By providing a personal touch, your Reunion will serve as a one-of-a-kind experience to reconnect old friends, create positive memories, and introduce alumni and their friends and families to today’s Cornell.
