Medallion Alumni

On behalf of the University, we are honored to recognize you among our thousands of Medallion alumni, a group of distinguished graduates from across the globe who have celebrated their 50th Reunion. You truly reflect what Meliora spirit is all about!

It feels like just yesterday we were studying in Rush Rhees Library and walking across the Eastman Quad, how time flies. Use this hub to stay connected with all things "Reunion!" Catch up on news, explore upcoming events, join classmates on social media, and prepare for Meliora Weekend, October 1–4, 2026. Registration will open this summer.

Questions? Contact us at alumni@rochester.edu.

Your reunion is all about celebrating your connection—to your peers, to Rochester, and to the University. Discover how the For Ever Better campaign is amplifying that impact for today’s students and unlocking boundless possibilities for the future.

Volunteer

Volunteers are essential to the success of your reunion celebration and perform a multitude of duties including outreach, event promotion, class gift campaign advocacy, and they encourage classmates to return for your Reunion celebration. Be a part of the magic and help behind the scenes.

Reunion Rally

Reunion Rally is a fun and friendly competition that encourages alumni to get involved during their reunion year. The goal is to see which reunion class can achieve the highest level of participation across four core reunion activities. It’s an opportunity for reunion alumni to reconnect with their classmates, contribute to the University of Rochester community, and have fun in the process!
