WEEKEND ACTIVITIES

  • Yes! Wooster’s President Anne E. McCall will address the alumni on Saturday morning during the Celebration of Wooster. Dr. McCall will also be an active participant in the overall weekend. 
• Will the pool, fitness center, and gym be available during the weekend?

• What are the class-specific events at Reunion Weekend?  
  • For several years, we have been moving towards more “all-alumni” events at Reunion Weekend to be a more inclusive celebration. Certainly, class reunion committees are welcome to plan special events for their class, but that does vary widely among classes! Many opportunities are provided for alumni to gather with their classmates during meals at Lowry Center and in their “class lounges” in the residence halls.  

ACCESSIBILITY

• Reunion Weekend meals and special events are planned in venues that are accessible. Our residence halls offer varying levels of accessibility which can present some challenges. If you have mobility-related concerns or issues that you wish to discuss, please reach out to the Office of Alumni & Family Engagement at 330-263-2533. 

ON-CAMPUS HOUSING 

• Can alumni reserve a room on campus after the May 18th reservation deadline? 
  • After graduation, our custodial, facilities, and events teams will turn their attention to readying our residence halls for Reunion Weekend. Because of the tight turnaround time to get all spaces ready, we need to stick to our May 18 registration deadline for housing. 
• Which residence hall will be assigned to my class? 
  • Gault Manor will house the Scots Forever Classes  Bornhuetter Hall will house the Class of 1976 – the 50th Reunion Class All other classes will be housed, based on numbers, in Armington Hall and Babcock Hall.
