YOUR
REUNION
The Meliora spirit has never been stronger. While we can’t be together as expected this fall for Reunion festivities on campus, we can still celebrate our community, experiences, and stay connected with each other online until we can meet up again in person. Check out some fun activities, stories and favorite Rochester Traditions below.

Making Connections
Commemorating a Reunion is always cause for celebration. It’s also an ideal time to reminisce and make new connections. Reunion volunteers Christina Smiros ’15 and Eric Weissmann ’10 reflect on the importance of Reunion, and their special ties to the University.

Celebrating the big 5-0
Joan Steinman ’69 attended her first Reunion in 2019, to celebrate her 50th. Check out this story on her campus experiences, what compelled her to attend Reunion (spoiler alert: it was a great decision) and where life has led her since graduation.
Why we love dandelions
In 1851 Rochester adopted its motto Meliora—a Latin word for “ever better.” It’s more than a motto for us. It’s our past, present, and our vision for the future. Learn more about the incredible, deep history of the University from its archivist, Melissa Mead.

The 2020 Reunion Class Gift Campaign is still underway. Join us October 15 – 18 for our first-ever Reunion Virtual 5K.
