Every June, the 50th Reunion Classes assemble in Geneva, N.Y., to honor the past, revive old connections and forge new bonds. Your weekend will encompass class-specific gatherings and dinners, entertainment, Reunion Classes, the grand parade, guided campus tours and personal moments to unwind and bask in the tranquil beauty of early summer by Seneca Lake.

Embrace the numerous opportunities presented by this once-in-a-lifetime occasion. You have the chance to actively contribute to the Echo & Pine, assume a volunteer role for your Reunion Committee and showcase your support for HWS by making a gift in honor of your Reunion Class.

50th Reunion registration is coming soon.

GIVING TO HWS AND YOUR REUNION

The generosity of alumni who celebrate their reunions each year has a substantial impact on today’s students. Reunion class gifts provide an extra boost to the Annual Fund, directly benefiting current student experiences by offering scholarships, diverse learning opportunities within and beyond the classroom, prominent academic programs, an array of extracurricular choices, and more. Your gift this year not only aids the Colleges but also contributes to your Reunion Class Gift. Make your gift today.
