Frequently Asked Questions
I really want to go to Reunion, but it's not my "Reunion year." Can I still go?
How much does Reunion cost?
A La Carte Pricing
Seminars, meals, housing, and local tours have reservation fees and you can sign up for them "a la carte." The cost of the activities, seminars, and tours ranges from "free" to $25. The cost of meals and cocktail parties ranges from $20 to $100. The cost of housing on campus is $250 for alumni or $150 for recent alumni (undergraduate classes of 2013 and later). Registering for on-campus housing gives you the use of your room for the entire weekend. Unlike a hotel, we are unable to turn around rooms on a daily basis.
One-Stop Registration Deal
This payment option allows you to register for all Reunion events and meals for one price of $500, including three nights of housing on campus, or without housing for $300.
One stop for recent alumni (undergraduate classes of 2013 or later) is $250 including three nights of housing on campus, or without housing for $150.

If I choose to stay on campus, where will I be? What can I expect in my room?
In past years, alumni housing has been available in Rothschild, Andrews Court, and Slonim Woods. Campus housing at Sarah Lawrence means returning to dormitory living. Please keep in mind that the rooms are basic, with little furniture or creature comforts. There are no private bathrooms. Rooms are singles and beds are twin–sized. Basic sheets, a light blanket, a pillow, and a towel are provided, but we recommend that you bring an extra blanket, pillow, towel, toiletries (soap), etc. You may also want to bring hangers, an alarm clock, a hair dryer, a mirror, an iron, and/or other amenities. There are no phones, desk lamps, air conditioners, or fans.
If I choose to stay off campus, where can I stay?

I would love to see certain faculty members while I'm there, how can I arrange that?
I'd like to bring my kids to Reunion, is that OK? What about other guests (spouses, friends, family)?
Of course! Feel free to bring any guests of any ages. Please note that the College does not provide childcare during Reunion.
I lost my Sarah Lawrence sweater, will I be able to get a new one?
I love the library and can't wait to see it, will it be open?
It wouldn't be a real trip down memory lane without a visit to the library. And this time, you won't have the stress of conference work! The library will be open throughout the weekend. You'll also be able to use computers and printers.
I work out a lot, what are my options?
I want to make sure there are a lot of people from my class. How do I do that?
We want that too! One great way to help is by becoming a Reunion Volunteer. Each class has a group of volunteers that help encourage attendance for Reunion. They send e-mails, make calls, and reach out to friends via social media to help guarantee a good class turn out. If you're not sure you want to be a volunteer, you can still encourage friends by reaching out to your personal networks and sharing your Reunion enthusiasm on Facebook. The most important part of encouraging attendance is leading by example. If you register for Reunion, your friends are more likely to register for Reunion!
I love Sadie Lou and want to do something special for the College. Any ideas?
We love you, too! Reunion Volunteers also work on fundraising for a class gift to the College. To make a gift towards your class gift, please click here. To become a Reunion Volunteer and assist with fundraising, please contact Cheryl Cipro at ccipro@sarahlawrence.edu.
Some of my classmates didn't even know about Reunion, what's up with that?
It's probably because we don't have the most current contact information for your friends. Please encourage them to contact our office at alum@sarahlawrence.edu
with their most up to date home address and e-mail so we can make sure they receive Reunion materials.
I'm in, where do I sign up?
Thanks for all these answers! Now that I know everything about Reunion, when is it?!
Reunion weekend will take place on campus Thursday June 8 through Sunday June 11, 2023. We’ll send save the dates, registration reminders, and other cool stuff by email. If you aren't getting emails from the Office of Alumni Relations, please email alum@sarahlawrence.edu with your updated contact information—we don't want you to miss out!
We can't wait to see you back on campus in June!
