Reunion Activities
Join your Reunion 2020 committee: In partnership with Kellogg Alumni Relations liaisons, Reunion committee members are responsible for encouraging alumni attendance by building general anticipation and excitement throughout the year leading up to Reunion weekend. A successful class reunion is the result of an enthusiastic and engaged planning committee focused on outreach and class-specific communications and programming.
In addition to the fundamental task of outreach, alumni within a committee can take on the following roles:
- Chair or co-chairs: One or two classmates who agree to lead the alumni committee through the planning and organizing process from September of the prior year through Reunion.
- Social media ambassador: Those alumni on the committee who want to deploy social media channels to connect with classmates and energize the group around Reunion.
- General committee member: Classmates who conduct outreach to encourage the return to campus for Reunion and organize special class-based events that are appropriate for their cohort.
