Reunions 2025 is over! Aside from the fact that I now have lost my only excuse for staying up unreasonably late and getting paid to do so, I enjoyed it. How about you? Did you meet new people? Catch up with old people? Do drugs? Actually, don’t answer that last one.
There were a lot of events to go to and many people to meet up with: over 1,000 attendees and nearly 100 events to attend! My personal favorite event was Paul Edison-Lahm ’83’s walking tour on the architecture of Reed, followed closely by the rugby game (celebrating 50 years of rugby at Reed!), and driving people around in a golf cart.
In case anyone did not know, there was also a scavenger hunt, made by Matt Giraud ’85, that took you all around the Reed campus (that’s what all the cryptic messages taped on various buildings was about). I was one of the lucky few who answered the call to go on the quest and send President Foster home.
For those who drank too much to remember, Friday was when everyone met up at the International Plaza and ate good food with Meatsmoke (where all the language houses are), and Saturday was on the Great Lawn, where everybody ate grilled meat while the light show was going on. I hope you, dear reader, also had as much fun as I did during Reunions, and I look forward to next year’s reunions. I’ve spotted myself a few times in the photos of the weekend–proof that I didn’t just eat grilled meat. Take a look yourself?
