Our next reunion will be held on June 4–6, 2027!

We welcome home all alumni, especially those celebrating their First through 60th Reunion, along with the Golden Mules (Class of 1972 and earlier).

Registration typically opens in March. Check back here for more information.

Your reunion registration fee covers all meals and events.

Call us at 207-859-4311 or email us at [email protected] if you have any questions about registration or the weekend.

The registration deadline is typically in late May.

Your first stop should be the registration area, located in the Schair-Swenson-Watson Alumni Center. Upon registration, you’ll receive a packet containing a name tag, weekend schedule, and special mementos. You’ll also be able to collect your room key.

Meals are included with each reunion package. Please review the schedule for details about different food options, including which dining halls are open and when. Light afternoon snacks (e.g., granola bars, etc.) are typically available in the Schair-Swenson-Watson Alumni Center and in the Joseph Family Spa in Cotter Union on Friday and Saturday of Reunion Weekend. Please designate food allergies and related information on the registration form in the appropriate section.

Refunds are typically available until mid-May. After that time, we cannot issue a refund because food and materials have been ordered and staffing levels determined. All registrations include a gift to the Colby Fund which cannot be refunded. Thank you for understanding. If the College makes the decision to cancel reunion for any reason, full refunds will be issued.

Absolutely! We encourage returning alumni to bring their entire families. There are plenty of family activities for children and adults.

Yes, you may request to be paired with friends. Please indicate this preference on your registration form, and we’ll try to accommodate your request. Make sure your friends provide a similar request so we can pair you up. The earlier you register, the more likely we’ll be able to accommodate your request. Please be advised that shared rooms will not be assigned until all roommates have registered for reunion.

Childcare is not provided, but we often have a “Kids Zone” where families can enjoy fun activities together such as face painting, a bounce house, and more.

Colby College is committed to making its campus accessible to persons with disabilities. However, not all areas of campus are fully accessible. Individuals who have special needs should contact the Office of Communications and Engagement at 207-859-4311 or at [email protected]. Service animals that meet ADA requirements will be permitted with advance notice.

Dress is casual all weekend except for the Saturday evening class reception and dinner, which tends to be semi-formal—a jacket and tie for men and a dress, pant suit, or dress suit for women. Please note that some dorm rooms do not have mirrors.

Photos and videos will be recorded during Reunion Weekend. By attending, you may be included in these materials, which may be used by Colby College.

In case of rain or cold weather, bring a rain coat, sweater, and umbrella. If you’re staying on campus, you may want to bring a fan, extra pillow and blanket, towels, and a bedside lamp. You should pack necessary toiletries, hangers, an iron, and an alarm clock. Families with young children should bring a pack and play or portable crib.

Yes. You’re welcome to stay off-campus and book your own accommodations.

No, we supply linens for you. In each room, you’ll find a twin bed (or beds), a pillow, sheets, a blanket, and a towel. If you’re driving to Colby, we strongly suggest you bring an extra pillow or blanket.

We’re sorry, but no pets are allowed on campus. Please make alternate arrangements. Service animals that meet ADA requirements will be permitted with advance notice.

The Colby Bookstore will be open, and many items will be on sale. Store hours will be listed in the online schedule of events, as well as the printed program.

Each reunion registration includes a $10 gift in support of the Colby Fund. Only one gift will be charged per registrant, no matter the number of guests added. Gifts to the Colby Fund from alumni, families, and friends like you provide the resources that sustain the College and create opportunities for students to learn, experience, and grow. If you have any questions, please contact the Advancement Events Office at 207-859-4311 to register for reunion over the phone.
