Celebrate
Reunion at Thurtene Carnival will be packed with events on campus and around St. Louis, but there are a few signature Reunion experiences you won’t want to miss, like the Welcome Back Party, the Alumni BBQ on the East End of Danforth Campus, and your Class of 2009 Party!
Registration is now open. Be sure to register by March 1 to receive your early bear discount.
Class of 2009 Party
Have a night filled with laughs and good friends with the class of 2019 at your 15th reunion class party at Work and Leisure. This non-traditional event space, located in trendy Midtown, is a 5,000 sq. ft. venue that offers bocce ball and shuffleboard —along with a DJ booth—in an industrial-style space. Enjoy an open bar with delicious cocktails, gourmet food stations, and fun photo opportunities.
Friday Night Class After-Party
The Class of 2009 reunion committee invites 15th reunion celebrants to join classmates following Friday night’s Welcome Back Party at The Chase Club. Join for a night cap, to reconnect with friends, great conversation, or simply to extend the fun. Classmates will gather for an informal meet-up immediately following the Welcome Back Party. No need to register. Just attend. Cash bar.
