What to post

We encourage you to post content that you think will excite people to register for Reunion and spread Reunion joy. Your posts can focus on exhilarating events during Reunion, re-connecting with classmates and how good it will be to be back on campus, among other topics. Please be mindful when selecting photos and crafting text to share and remember that you represent the College as a Reunion committee volunteer.

With regards to photos that include alcohol, use your best judgment. A photo featuring legal-age people at a social function with beer or wine in the background would likely be fine to post. Something that implies excess drinking or promoting of drinking likely would not be fine.
