Reunion Rally
Reunion Rally is a fun, friendly competition designed to spark engagement throughout your reunion year. Classes compete to see who can achieve the highest participation across four core reunion activities. It’s a great way to reconnect with classmates, support the University of Rochester community, and enjoy a little spirited fun along the way.
Pre-Reunion Gathering
Reconnect with classmates before Meliora Weekend! Host a casual gathering—happy hour, coffee meetup, picnic, or virtual call—between February and June to build excitement for your milestone reunion. We will provide the planning tools, outreach templates, and University-branded materials to make it easy.
