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 1984 Party!
Registration is now open. Be sure to register by March 1 to receive your early bear discount.
Class of 1984 Party
Join fellow 40th Reunion celebrants on Danforth Campus for a nostalgic evening in the Women’s Building Formal Lounge. Opened in 1928, the Women’s Building was the result of a grassroots effort by female students to erect a meeting place for WashU sororities. The Women’s Building quickly became a favorite student hangout and the source of many memories for WashU alumni over the last century. Classmates will enjoy reminiscing over cocktails, dinner, music, and dancing. Reconnect with friends and make new memories in this iconic WashU spot at the Class of 1984 Party.
Friday Night Class After-Party
The Class of 1984 reunion committee invites 40th reunion celebrants to join classmates following Friday night’s Welcome Back Party in the Dart Room of Blueberry Hill. 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.
