Class 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. Alumni Reunion Weekend 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.

Reunion Class Volunteers

Alumni Reunion Weekend would not happen each year without the support of reunion volunteers for each of the returning classes. DePauw volunteers are the foundation upon which successful reunions are built and are integral ambassadors for the University, encouraging broad support and engaging your classmates in the many opportunities offered by DePauw.

Class volunteers play a role in the planning of their class-specific events for the weekend, assist in reconnecting classmates with one another and with DePauw, and assist with fundraising efforts for their class gift. Class volunteers work closely with Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving staff to:

• Communicate with their classmates via class letters, e-mail, etc., as well as maintain communication throughout the year with the staff liaisons from the Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving offices;
• Help with the planning of class-specific events with the Office of Alumni Engagement;
• Set reunion program goals for dollars, donors, and reunion attendees in conjunction with our offices; and,
• Support The Fund for DePauw solicitation efforts by cultivating new and increased reunion gifts.

If you are interested in volunteering for your class reunion, please email alumnioffice@depauw.edu, and we will connect you to the appropriate staff member working with your class.
