Let's get ready for Reunion Weekend 2021!
After much deliberation and in consultation with members of the administration and the alumni community, we feel it is in the best interest to move Reunion Weekend 2021 to October 1-3, 2021. Our top priority is the health and safety of our alumni and our Mount community. While the restrictions in place are not ideal, we aim to keep our Mount traditions alive and look forward to celebrating reunion weekend with you in October.
Please check back for details and event updates regarding Reunion Weekend as we continue to plan and monitor COVID-19.
If you have questions or would like to join your reunion planning committee, please contact the Office of Alumni Engagement or 301-447-5362.
Our 45th Annual Alumni Reunion Golf Tournament will be held on Friday, October 1, 2021. As reunion approaches, more information will be provided.
Due to reunion being held while students are living on campus, all reunion housing accommodations will be at local area hotels. Please visit our Reunion Hotels page for more information. As we continue to coordinate room blocks with area hotels, more hotel information will be available. We will be working with reunion class committees to determine what hotels will be their respective "home base" for the weekend.
The Office of Alumni Engagement works with each Reunion Class Committee to plan events, communications and initiatives to commemorate this special occasion.
If you are interested in joining your Reunion Class Committee, please contact the Office of Alumni Engagement for more information at (301) 447- 5362 or by email.
Our number one priority is the health and safety of our alumni and Mount community. We ask that you follow any COVID-19 health and safety guidelines in place during the time of reunion.
Public safety officers patrol the campus, including residence halls, throughout the day and night.
If you have an emergency, please contact Public Safety at 301-447-5357 or x5357 from a campus phone.
Please remember our main means of communication is through this website, mail and email. To be sure that you receive all Reunion information, please update your email address and contact information by sending us an email.

Reunion Weekend includes many different events. You can participate in some or all – it's up to you. Among the weekend activities and programs are the following:
Each Reunion class holds their own evening event held on or off campus. This is a special time for classmates to reconnect and celebrate their reunion. Guests are welcome.
Yes! On Saturday, President Trainor will give a first-hand update on life at the Mount in his annual Mount Briefing. He will talk about what has changed, what hasn't, and what the future holds, along with a Q&A period.
Beer and wine are included with your class socials as well as the Brute Medal Alumni Banquet. Beer and wine are also available for purchase during the Reunion Festival. For all other Reunion events, alumni and guests must provide their own alcohol.
The university also offers an AA/Al-Anon meeting during the weekend.
When you arrive on campus, your first stop will be registration which is held in McGowan, in front of the bookstore. At registration, you will receive your name tag, event tickets and other class and event information. If you did not register prior to arriving on campus, stop by registration to get a name tag and purchase event tickets. There will be separate lines for those that have pre-registered and those that did not.
Some events may be moved inside, but in traditional Mount spirit, our Reunion celebrations will continue rain or shine.
This year, due to reunion weekend being held during the fall semester, we are unable to offer on-campus accommodations.
See our list of local area hotels where room blocks have been set-up for reunion weekend.
Pets are allowed on campus grounds, but not in campus buildings unless you have a medical need. Please look for local kennels or speak to local hotels/rentals about pet accommodations.
Mount St. Mary's is committed to making its campus accessible to persons with disabilities. However, not all areas of campus are fully accessible. Individuals who have accessibility questions should contact the Office of Alumni Engagement at 301-447-5362 or alumni@msmary.edu.
