Reunion App
Starting NOW, the new Smith College reunion app will be your one-stop shop for the 2025 reunion schedule, class and college events, speaker information, FAQ’s and more. The app is free and can be downloaded for iPhones (through Apple) or android phones (through Google Play). Content is updated all weekend.
Class Programs
Three class programs are designed as a mini liberal arts colloquium in support of our Reunion themes – connect, share, celebrate, community.
Campus Discovery: Paradise Found is a lecture about Smith’s campus—its natural resources, architecture, and landscape design—followed by classmate-led tours.
’75 / Live in 2025: Conversations with Classmates is a moderated panel with classmates revealing diverse passions and pursuits, sparking audience participation.
Archives Exploration: Looking Back to Push Forward is a lecture about Smith’s Special Collections followed by group discussion about the Ms. Magazine collection.
Speakers (L to R) include architect, educator, executive director of the Boston Society of Landscape Architects Gretchen Rabinkin ’92, Smith College Director of Special Collections Beth Myers, and Smith Medalist Cheryl Brown Wattley ’75 (classmate panel moderator).
Alumnae Parade
One of Smith’s best loved traditions is the Alumnae Parade. Whites are worn; witty signs abound. Our class will join other milestone reunion classes for the morning parade and Ivy Day program on Saturday, May 17. Please pack a white outfit. Hats, totes and sashes will be waiting for you when you register at our class headquarters.
Illumination Night
Smith’s traditional display of hanging lanterns is better than ever, now augmented by a colored light show on the Upper Campus. This event will take place after dinner on Saturday, May 17. Following Illumination Night, join an all-class dance party with musical selections from our era.
