Who will receive an invitation?
The O’Dowd Reunion Day 2025 invitations will be mailed out in January to all members of milestone classes. Make sure your contact information is updated. All alumni 21+ are welcome to attend, regardless of graduation year.
How can I help get classmates together again?
A dedicated reunion committee is the best way to ensure your class is excited and involved in the O’Dowd Reunion Day. Volunteering on your class reunion committee is a fun, meaningful, and manageable way to create high-impact engagement among your community. O’Dowd does the heavy lifting of planning Reunion Day, while the main focus of alumni is to help get classmates there! All volunteer roles have the full support of the Development Office. Please let us know if your class is planning an additional reunion!
