Reunion Planning Toolkit
Follow This Easy Guide for a Great Reunion
What's the secret to a successful MIT Reunion? Planning, planning, planning. The largest annual gathering of MIT alumni doesn't happen through a miracle of science. Reunion planning takes place in the 12-18 months preceding the event and involves a committee of class volunteers that organizes activities and encourages reunion attendance. To help these volunteers, the Alumni Association reunions staff has prepared a comprehensive reunion planning toolkit. Use it to help organize your reunion committee, map out timelines, spread the word, and plan events that will wow your classmates.
Contact reunion staff
Remember: these tools are not a substitute for communication between class volunteers and the Alumni Association reunions staff. The reunions staff is ready, willing, and able to help! Be sure to contact them at 617-253-8824 or reunions@mit.edu if you have questions or need additional information.
