Reunions

Come back. Give back.

SCROLL
Alumni Weekend is an opportunity to reconnect and reminisce with old friends while making new memories on campus. Reunion milestones also motivate classmates to come together and give back in honor of their Penn experience.

Every year, approximately one-fifth of undergraduate alumni are celebrating milestone reunions, and together, their gifts make up nearly one-third of all dollars raised for The Penn Fund.

Classes that celebrated reunions in 2026 exceeded their goals and demonstrated their generosity and dedication to the University, collectively raising vital support for The Penn Fund.

Thank you to our reunion classes for carrying on this philanthropic tradition and enhancing the undergraduate student experience for today’s Quakers!
