Class of 2001 - 25th Reunion 

May 21 - 24, 2026

 

WELCOME HOME, CLASS OF 2001!

25 Years of Community, Connections, and 'Coming As You Are'.

Classmates, families, and friends, it’s been a quarter century. Let’s come back to the place we lived, the community where we grew, and the friendships that defined us. Yale 2001 is reuniting this May, and we want you there.

 

Our Theme: Come As You Are.

Whether you're an author, artist, parent, CEO, governor or somewhere in between, your presence is what makes this weekend special. There’s no dress code for who you are, only for where we are. This reunion is an open invitation to reconnect, share stories, and celebrate our journeys, regardless of where they've taken us.

 

Get Excited: A Sneak Peek at Our Programming!

Our Reunion Committee has been working to design an inclusive, engaging weekend packed with events that showcase our class's talent and foster new connections. You can expect packed schedules with an array of tours from Harkness to the Peabody, classes with Yale professors, various open houses, and class programming all day Friday and Saturday (from early fun runs late night music and pizza both nights). We will have meals starting with Friday lunch through Sunday brunch including Saturday cocktails on Beinecke Plaza and a seated dinner in the Schwarzman Center, or what we remember as Commons. Check in starts on Thursday, so come early to check in and meet up with friends at Yorkside.

Boola boola!
