Class and Reunion Programs

DePauw's class and reunion programs provide an opportunity to broaden the spirit of loyalty and friendship by expanding alumni engagement in the life and mission of the University. A special weekend Alumni Reunion is held each summer to welcome our alumni, their families, and friends back to campus for a weekend of re-connecting, recognizing alumni achievement, and celebrating DePauw.
