In short, the following groups are invited in 2023:

• Alumni celebrating milestone 10-, 25-, 30-, 40-, and 50-year reunions (in 2023, these are the classes of 2013, 1998, 1993, 1983, and 1973).
• Alumni beyond their 50-year reunion.
• Classes one year above and below the milestone classes.
• Donors and volunteers above a certain threshold (detailed below).
• Annapolis Guest Classes of 1978 and 1982 (information below).

Our 2023 milestones are those celebrating their 10-, 25-, 30-, 40-, and 50-year reunions (in 2023, these are the classes of 2013, 1998, 1993, 1983, and 1973). Additionally, anyone beyond their 50-year reunion is invited every year (in 2023, this is those who graduated prior to 1973).

Our definition of a “class” is broader than graduation year alone. We also consider the date a student started at St. John’s. So, for instance, if you began your freshman year as part of the Class of 2012, but graduated alongside the Class of 2013, you will automatically be included in the invitation list for both the Class of 2012 and Class of 2013 10-year reunions.

We know close relationships with Johnnies outside of your class are integral to the St. John’s College student experience. Therefore, we have extended invitations to classes one year above and below the milestone classes. Invitations to alumni outside of milestone years are staggered to allow those who are celebrating milestone reunions the first chance to register for Gratitude & Reunion Weekend.

Additionally, donors who have given a cumulative $500 over the past 3 years and alumni engaging with substantive volunteerism receive invitations, as well as Guest Classes.

A Guest Class constitutes a non-milestone class that has received a special invitation to participate in Gratitude & Reunion Weekend as the result of a major gift collaboratively achieved or significant volunteerism that advances the St. John’s College legacy in the pillars of academic support, student support, financial stability, and campus improvements. In 2023, we are happy to extend an invitation to the Annapolis Classes of 1978 and 1982 in recognition of their commitment to St. John’s College.

In 2023, we will employ an à la carte pricing model for Reunion Weekend events in an effort to control the cost of attendance for our alumni while also lessening the financial burden the college assumes in hosting these events.

Alumni may choose which events throughout the weekend they find meaningful to attend and will register and pay for only those events. There will also be a variety of free activities available for alumni to create an environment inclusive of all in our community.

Our reunion events are not profit generating, and alumni events can pose a significant cost to the college, but we gladly undertake them because we value alumni engagement. Yet, we have a duty to be financially responsible so as not to impact other parts of the college such as student financial aid and academic support.

To connect with your current class chairs or to volunteer to join your reunion class chair committee, contact the Alumni Relations Office at alumni(at)sjc.edu.

As a St. John’s alum, you are entitled to continued access to several benefits within the community. During your campus visit, you are welcome to access the coffee shop, bookstore, library, gym, and academic buildings open to the public during regular business hours.

We know that alumni enjoy the opportunity to visit the nostalgic spaces of their past and spend time in conversation with current students, and the college highly values the environment that results when students and alumni from different backgrounds come together to discuss the ideas and ideals that are the cornerstone of a St. John’s education. However, the college expects that you will exercise care for the students who now call St. John's their home by respecting that certain spaces you were once welcome to access are exclusively for the private use of our student communities.

As such, alumni of the college are not permitted to enter any residential hall, residential common room, attend any non-public student event, or access the student-run Cave in Santa Fe. Alumni can attend school-sponsored traditional student events only when registered with public safety as a guest of a current student.
