Don't miss out in joining fellow classmates and enjoy a combined reunion weekend in the fall! As always, all Mounties are invited to enjoy the festivities of reunion weekend, but we will be specifically celebrating classes that end in 0, 1, 5, and 6!
If you have questions or would like to join your reunion planning committee, please contact the Office of Alumni Engagement or 301-447-5362.
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.
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.
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.

Mount St. Mary’s will follow all CDC, state, and local COVID guidelines for reunion weekend that are in place come October. We do not require that attendees be vaccinated for reunion weekend, however we encourage vaccination according to the CDC recommendations. Current guidance for fully vaccinated individuals states they can return to their normal activities and not wear a mask. It will be encouraged that those who are not vaccinated should wear a mask. We will have a health attestation form to fill out prior to attendees arrival that asks questions such as fever, exposure, etc.
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.
