Dear Class of 2020,<\/span><\/h5>\n
Five years have flown by! Our 5th Class Reunion is already happening THIS SPRING. Mark your calendars for <\/span>FRIDAY, MAY 30 to SUNDAY, JUNE 1,<\/b> because we\u2019re giving you the opportunity to cash in all of those missed caf dates with a weekend you won\u2019t want to miss!<\/span><\/h5>\n
\u201cI <\/b>just<\/i><\/b> graduated, how much really is there to do?\u201d<\/b><\/h5>\n
If you went to our delayed 2020 graduation ceremony, you might recall how fun it was to spend a night on campus and catch up with classmates! We have a ton of fun activities planned. Enjoy dinner throughout Buntrock, live music on the quad, dancing, trivia, movies, and more. Check out the schedule of events <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/h5>\n
Also, now that we\u2019re alumni, it\u2019s “officially” not a dry campus during Reunion Weekend! Beer and wine are FREE during dinners and available for purchase at evening events on the quad.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
During our Saturday night dinner, we want everyone to be included. Whether you\u2019ll be in attendance or not, we are asking you to share your favorite memories and photos of your time on the Hill. Use the <\/span>survey link below <\/strong>to upload your photos and write about your treasured time at Olaf.<\/span><\/h5>\n

\u00a0<\/span>share your memories<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, but what if I hang out with my Ole friends all the time?\u201d<\/b><\/h5>\n
What happens on the Hill STAYS on the Hill. You built these lifelong relationships in tiny dorm rooms, on Caf dates, during music rehearsals, and at pre-season practices. Where better to celebrate the 5th anniversary of graduating with your best friends than where it all began? You\u2019ll see Oles who don\u2019t live in the area and friends you haven’t seen since graduation. This is your chance to make up for the time lost due to the pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
Speaking of lost time, this is your chance to rekindle any lost love or to finally talk to your campus crush you were too scared to talk to before the pandemic. People fall in love at 5 year college reunions ALL THE TIME. Think about it.<\/span><\/h5>\n
\u201cHow much does this cost?\u201d<\/b><\/h5>\n
The Early Bird All-Weekend Package is $150; this all-inclusive price includes all your meals, housing in a residence hall, and beer and wine with both class dinners. Early bird pricing ends on <\/span>APRIL 10th!!!<\/b> The first 100 registrants in our class to arrive will receive a FREE St. Olaf Cookie upon check-in to their dorm. There are pricing options available for <\/span>single-day attendance, <\/span><\/a>too. Be there when you can!<\/span><\/h5>\n
\u201cI\u2019m interested! How do I sign up?\u201d<\/b><\/h5>\n
Go <\/span>HERE<\/span><\/a> to register! Some people submitted an \u201cinterest\u201d survey – but until you\u2019ve paid for the weekend and hit submit – your name isn\u2019t on the list yet. Check out the Reunion Weekend schedule\u2014there are campus tours, faculty\/staff lightning talks, a trolley, yoga, lawn games, and countless chances to reconnect!\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
We hope to see you in there!\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
