Reunion Weekend Schedule

From Convocation and Alumni College to class dinners, dancing, strolling around Granville, and catching up with old friends, Reunion Weekend looks to be an action-packed weekend for all.

Alumni College Classes – All the fun of learning — without the tests! Get back into the classroom to learn from Denison faculty and alumni.
Alumni Convocation – A time-honored Reunion tradition, where we celebrate Denison’s past, present, and future; Alumni Citation recipients; and Class Reunion gifts.
Alumni Citations – The highest honor Denison bestows upon its distinguished alumni recognizes outstanding contributions to the professional, civic, business, or religious life of the nation, and to the advancement of the college. This year’s honorees are Don Shackelford ’54, Sandy Thomson ’59, Milt Baughman ’69, Garrett Stevens ’69, Alberto Verme ’79, Pam Houston ’83, Karen Wheel-Carter ’84, Janet Crown ’85, Jon Puchalski ’94, and Alex Moffat ’04.
Children’s Program – Reunion is for the entire family! Bring your 12 and under kids, and we’ll keep them entertained while you play.
Class Photos – Commemorate this special occasion with your classmates. Combed hair and clean shirts are optional!

A tentative Reunion Weekend schedule is listed below.

Please revisit this page as Reunion draws near for more details and updates. Times and locations listed are tentative and may change!
