The Details…
Housing
Please make sure to head to Reunion check in first to get your housing information along with your temporary access to get into the houses! Please note: we will receive key cards to the houses but not keys to individual rooms. Plan accordingly!
You will be provided basic bed linens- a pillow and pillow case, sheets, and a blanket along with a towel and washcloth. That said, if you have particular items for bathing you like to have or you run cold at night, we do recommend bringing those items – extra blankets, pillows, etc. along with you. The college cannot guarantee there will be extras of these items.
Make sure to swing by Class Headquarters at Talbot to say hi to your classmates and current Smith student Class Assistants (and grab your goodies from the Class of 2013)!

Breakfasts are included as part of your housing package. You were able to add the additional meals provided by the college (lunches and dinners) to your Reunion registration during the registration period.

The Class of 2013 will be hosting a Class Tea on Friday afternoon and a relaxing yoga class on Saturday. All Alums and Guests of the Class of 2013 are welcome to attend.
Please be advised we cannot provide yoga mats for all attendees so please bring a blanket, towel, or yoga mat if you plan to participate.
We will also be participating in class dinners on Friday and Saturday evenings along with beloved Smith traditions including Ivy Day and Illumination.
We will also be offering more casual opportunities to spend time with your classmates – we will be hosting a movie night at our headquarters in Talbot House on Friday evening and a Downtown Social on Saturday evening after Illumination. Please see the attached flyer for details!
