Class of 2006 – Welcome Back!
Our 20th Reunion is almost here: May 21–24, 2026 · New Haven
Twenty years ago, we walked through Phelps Gate and into adulthood. Since then, life has taken us all on paths we couldn’t have imagined back then.
This reunion is a chance to come home to one another. To reconnect with people who knew us before the titles, responsibilities, and tradeoffs, and to meet new friends. To laugh, reflect, celebrate, and rediscover the part of ourselves that was shaped here.
Save the date now — and start planning to join us Memorial Day Weekend.

What to Expect
Alongside Yale-wide reunion events, we’re planning ’06–specific programming that goes beyond networking and nostalgia:
- Class meals and social events.
- Time for fun, reflection, and meaningful conversation
- Opportunities to hear about what classmates are building and exploring now
- Space for community, support, and shared experience
- Great merch — and a few surprises
Whether you come for the full weekend or just one day, solo or with family, we hope you’ll find it worth the time and the trip.
