VP&S 2021 Alumni Reunion

After careful consideration, our 2021 VP&S Reunion will be Virtual from April 19-23, 2021. This won’t stop us from celebrating, though! It gives us many opportunities to connect and allows everyone to attend—connecting from wherever we are in the world right now. 

Individual class parties will take place throughout the week, as well as a Scientific Symposium on April 22 to highlight your research, and an Alumni Day program on April 23 to honor your accomplishments. It will be a time to lift each other up, celebrate VP&S, and honor new and lifelong friendships.

We share a deep and enduring bond and will gather again, hopefully soon. Meanwhile, get ready to enjoy a week of re-connecting with your classmates.

Please watch your email for more details coming soon.

When it's time to attend my Class Gathering, the Scientific Symposium, or the Alumni Day Program - Where do I go?

We've taken the guess work out of 'Where do I go?' by consolidating everything into the 'AGENDA' tab at the top of this page. When you navigate to the 'AGENDA' tab, you'll see a full list of all of the Virtual Events for this year's reunion.

When can I enter the Virtual Event?

Two minutes before each event (individual Class Gatherings, the Scientific Symposium, and the Alumni Day Program), a button will appear that says "JOIN BROADCAST."

Can I arrive Early to check my webcam and microphone?

Each Virtual Event allows individuals to 'arrive' up to two minutes before each event's stated start time. You will not have the ability to enter the Virtual Event before that time. 

We recommend you test your webcam and microphone in your browser well ahead of time by visiting our Quick Tech Check.

Which browser should I be using? Google Chrome? Firefox?

Both of those are our recommended browsers! If you've got those downloaded and installed, you're ready to go.

If you don't have Google Chrome (Recommended), Download It Here

Which Events Can I Attend?

In order to attend Individual Class Gatherings, you must be a registered alumni of that class year. 

For Instance: If you're an alumni of the Class of 1951, you will only be able to attend the Class of 1951 Virtual Class Gathering, as well as the Scientific Symposium and the Alumni Day Program. You will not be able to enter any of the other Virtual Class Gatherings. 

All registered guests may attend the Scientific Symposium (Thursday, April 22, 2021 - 4:00P - 5:00P EDT), and the Alumni Day Program (Friday, April 23, 2021 - 4:00P - 5:00P EDT).

Where are the Zoom links? I didn't receive anything in my email.

The best part about having all the events integrated into the Virtual Alumni Reunion Website? You'll never have to hunt your email for links. In fact, all you need is your email address to log in and attend virtual events. All events are embedded in the 'AGENDA' tab, at the top of each page on this website.
