Reunion 2019 Registration - 40th Reunion
Classes of 1979 and 1980

The Reunion Registration fee is a nominal charge assessed to all Alumni College and Reunion attendees. Grinnell College strives to make Reunion an affordable and accessible event for all participants. The fee assists with general Reunion costs such as golf cart rentals, student worker wages, activities planned by each class, and the Reunion dances.

Please choose on-campus housing or indicate you will be arranging for your own accommodations. Later in the process, you will have the opportunity to indicate any preferences regarding your on-campus housing. All on-campus housing will be in a residence hall. Residence halls open on Thursday, May 30.

Housing is per person. Children 4 and under, who do not need a bed, are free.

If you do not require housing, please indicate this by placing a "1" in I do not require on-campus housing.

Please let us know if you require a one-way or roundtrip shuttle to/from the airport as part of your visit to campus for Reunion. If you select this option, you will be sent a separate shuttle form in March through which to share the details of your arrival and/or departure. The deadline to register for a shuttle is Friday, May 3, 2019. Shuttle Forms will be mailed to you after this date. We will not accept shuttle reservation after May 3.

Shuttle prices are per person/per seat. There are no discounts based on age. If you have a child, please bring a car seat appropriate for their age.

If you do not need a shuttle, you must indicate so by placing a "1" in I do not require an airport shuttle.

Join current Grinnell coaches Friday afternoon at the Grinnell Golf and Country Club for nine holes of golf. The additional cost for this event covers green fees and a cart. You must bring your own clubs.

Open to anyone who is interested in Grinnell athletics, this reception provides alumni an opportunity to reminisce with current and former coaches and players while learning about athletics at Grinnell today. This event follows the Golf Scramble on Friday afternoon.

Join fellow Reunion attendees as a member of the Alumni Choir. A brief practice will be held Saturday to prepare the choir for two performances: Alumni Assembly on Saturday afternoon and the Sunday morning worship service.

Please check the paper schedule and the Reunion App for photo times and locations. The app will be available for download in May. You will receive one 8X10 printed photo. It will be mailed to you 3-4 weeks after Reunion. If you would like to purchase a class photo other than your own, please call us at 866-850-1846.

Grinnell College offers programs on Saturday that can engage your child and offer you some time alone with classmates. Options include the following:

• Traditional child care for ages 6 weeks to 5 years can be arranged for a day session and an evening session at the Iowa licensed Grinnell Community Day Care Center located just a ½ mile from campus.
• Camp Grinnell for kids between 6 and 11 years. This program is primarily located on campus, but may have excursions to parks, meals, or recreation opportunities off campus, but within walking distance. Camp Grinnell also offers a day and an evening session.
• Young Pioneers Teen Program offers a day trip to a local amusement park for kids ages 12-17 and an evening session closer to campus for kids ages 12-15.

Activities are subject to change but will be set in advance. A schedule will be mailed to registrants approximately 2 weeks before the start of Reunion.

Please note that both Camp Grinnell and the Young Pioneers Teen Programs are not run by licensed child care providers. These programs are intended to be similar to camp programs. If your child needs special supervision please tell us when you register (send an email to alumni@grinnell.edu). Failure to provide special considerations and/or needs of a child in advance may result in your child not being able to participate. Our goal is the safety and enjoyment of your child and the other children in the program. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

For more information on these programs, please visit our Reunion Childcare page. (This link will open on a separate tab and will not pull you out of the registration process.)

The deadline to register for child programs is Friday, May 3, 2019.

All class dinner attendees are welcome to begin the festivities at the All Reunion Social beginning at 5:30 p.m. The exact time of your class dinner will be listed in the schedule you receive when you arrive on campus. If you would like to attend a class dinner other than your own, please call us at 866-850-1846.
