Do I need to register in advance?
Yes, please! Registration will open in early spring. We kindly ask that you register yourself and your guest(s) for every event you plan to attend, including those that are listed as “complimentary”. For the seated 50-Year Club and Reunion Class Dinners, it is strongly recommended that you register in advance to ensure that we can comfortably accommodate everyone.
How do I know if I'm celebrating a reunion?
This year we are celebrating milestone reunions for the classes of 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, 2021.
The classes of 1946, 1951, 1956, 1961, 1966, and 1971 will also be celebrating their milestone reunions at the 50-Year Club Reception and Dinner on Friday, May 1, 2026.
Don’t see your class year here but would like to organize a reunion for your class or club, interest group, etc? Contact us at [email protected].
If I'm not celebrating a reunion, can I still attend?
Yes! The Alumni and Reunion Weekend events on Saturday morning and afternoon (May 2, 2026) are open to all alumni, their families and current or former faculty and staff. This includes the Continental Breakfast, State of the School, Alumni Roundtable, and BBQ. These events are complimentary, but we kindly request that you register in advance.
Please note, there are reunion events that are only open to specific classes.
What is the suggested attire for the weekend?
Casual dress is suggested for daytime activities. Business casual or festive attire is recommended for the 50-Year Club and class dinners but please carefully consider your footwear as some events will take place on the grass. And of course, Poly orange is always encouraged!
How much does it cost to participate?
Many of the events are complimentary to attend, however, some reunion events have an additional fee. All event prices will be listed in the online registration form.
What counts in my Class Reunion Gift total?
Gifts made between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026 will count towards the class reunion totals.
Class Participation will include classmates who have made a gift between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026. Gifts to all funds at Poly count towards your class reunion dollars and participation totals.
Each year the Alumni Association awards the Willis Stork Award to the class with the highest participation and the Founders Cup to the class with the highest dollar amount raised for the Poly Fund.
