This is THE 55th reunion bash—equal parts nostalgia, laughter, and a little bit of “Can you believe it’s been this long?" We’ll kick things off with a lively reception on the balcony, giving you plenty of time to reconnect, reminisce, and maybe do a double-take or two. Then settle in for a fantastic dinner from one of San Francisco’s top caterers. Catch up with old friends, meet classmates you missed the first time around, and make brand-new memories along the way. Same great class—just with better stories. Don’t miss it!

Homecoming Hangout
Noon–3:30 p.m.
Welcome to the Homecoming Hangout, a new addition to the Reunion Homecoming experience designed for all. This informal gathering space in the Alumni Center backyard invites all Stanford alumni—whether you’re celebrating your undergraduate reunion or returning as a graduate alum—and their families to reconnect with the Farm in a relaxed atmosphere.

It’s the perfect spot to unwind between scheduled events, purchase a snack from the CoHo café located inside the Alumni Center, and soak in the pre-game excitement. There will also be a Kids Rest Stop with activity tables under shade to give them (and their parents) a break. No tickets or reservations required—just drop by and make yourself at home.

Class of ’71 Tailgate
Find that special group of friends you most want to see from your days on the Farm and get ready to cheer on the Cardinal. Enjoy all-you-can-eat tailgate fare, beer, wine, specialty cocktails, and mocktails. Join the fun and festivities with your classmates. It’s All Right Now!
