Class of ’05!

We couldn't be more excited to welcome you back to New Haven, at Silliman College, May 22 - 25, 2025 (Memorial Day Weekend). Along with a variety of Yale reunion-wide events, we’ll have '05 specific treats:

  • Dining, Drinks, and Dancing under the reunion tent
  • "Share the Joy" informal classmate talks (it's not too late to sign-up to speak! Presenters may present on their own or with others.)
  • Singles happy hour and fitness & wellness meet-ups
  • Games for kids and kids-at-heart in Silliman’s courtyard and our “Family Lounge” in the Silliman Buttery all weekend long
  • Late night pizza, Wenzels, and all the adult beverages.

We could use your help in:

  • Sharing photos from our time at Yale and after - we hope to have a slideshow going all weekend.
  • Reaching out to your 0Y5 friends and encouraging them to attend!
  • Letting us know if you'd like to:
    • Lead a casual fitness or wellness session on Saturday morning (e.g. fun run; yoga; meditation; open to ideas)!
    • Present in our 0Y5 Share the Joy Open Mic!
      • Share the Joy: We’re inviting classmates to share 3-5 minutes (no materials) on What Brings You Joy – personal, professional, stories of perseverance or resilience, hobbies, performances, or anything else!
    • Perform in our Music Salon!
    • Please feel free to nominate any classmates for wellness session-leading or Share the Joy or Music Salon!

Here are some travel/activities-related resources:
