College Row Classes

College Row Classes is a program specifically designed for alumni in the years following their 50th reunion, helping to maintain the strong connection to Wesleyan, and classmates, that is often nurtured that milestone year and to create new opportunities for strong connection for all Wesleyan alumni in Class of 1975 and earlier.

We invite alumni from the Class of 1975 and earlier to participate in a variety of annual offerings ranging from institutional update webinars to special on-campus events during Homecoming + Family Weekend and Reunion + Commencement Weekend, as well as informal virtual class happy hours convening alumni across College Row Classes.

Alumni celebrating a reunion year (classes ending in “1” or “6”) will receive additional opportunities throughout the year to mark the occasion.

Learn more about this year’s calendar of events for College Row Classes and how you can engage with Wesleyan and alumni in your class year and beyond by referencing the calendar of events below.

Please note: Invitations are sent via email, and registration is available online. If you're not receiving Wesleyan emails, need assistance, or would like to learn more about staying connected, please contact Kate Micari in the Office of Advancement at 860.685.2079 or kmicari@wesleyan.edu
