One WILSON… One Grand Reunion ~Together in 2022~ June 1-5 (most activities June 3-5) This is a three-in-one cycle reunion: combining 2020 classes of 5&0; 2021 6&1; and 2022 7&2! 50th Class Celebrations for 1970, 1971 and 1972. An unprecedented opportunity to join with other classes with whom you don't usually share reunions. The weekend will present some challenges to create the sort of experience everyone wants and considers tradition. Due to increased numbers some things are going to be a bit different from prior years so the staff are busy working and communicating with class officers in the planning process. Watch your email and mailbox for additional information coming in January 2022. See tabs below for local lodging options, class specific information and more. Details will be added to the reunion webpage as they become available. We look forward to seeing you on campus! AAWC Slate and Award Announcement coming early 2022. |
Nominations for 2022 are due by the end of December 2021.

Reunion Weekend ONLY: Campus Housing

Please keep in mind that these are residence halls with little ability to regulate temperatures and few amenities exist. Residence hall rooms: $40 for single or $30 per person for double per night.

Many classes have arranged for a block of rooms and lounge space at designated hotel(s).
