Reunion Registration & Meals

Reunion registration is available two ways: Reunion Registration - Meals à la Carte and Reunion Registration - All-MealsPlease note: The prices below are for registration by May 15, after which last-chance registration charges apply.

For Grinnell College graduates from the class of 1956 celebrating their 70th Reunion, registration and meals, as well as on-campus lodging, are complimentary for you and one guest. We look forward to welcoming you to campus for this very special occasion.

Reunion Registration - All-Meals Package

The All-Meals option offers a discount compared to the individual à la carte pricing and includes all meals in the dining hall, as well as food from the Reunion Block Party food trucks and access to the beverage tents. The package also incorporates your basic registration fee as listed in the à la carte description above. Children 4 and under eat free. Please note: the All-Meals Package is available through May 15.
