Carthage Reunion Tool Kit
Welcome back, alumni!
Fire up your 2026 reunion with this tool kit.
At Carthage, Homecoming and Family Weekend is the bedrock of the alumni experience. In 2025, we started the new tradition of celebrating every graduation cohort celebrating their 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th reunion, and beyond. While the Office of Advancement and Alumni Relations will provide the foundational support for class reunions and affiliation groups to gather at Carthage during Homecoming Weekend, it is up to volunteers like you to generate excitement and participation for your group. It is fun and rewarding work. Classmates want to hear from each other!
Fill out the quick form below or contact Melanie Landro, assistant director of advancement and volunteer programs, to learn more about your class reunion, how to get the word out to friends, how to sign up as a class reunion volunteer, or to get connected with other volunteers from your class and gain access to additional resources.
And if you haven’t already, please make sure your contact information is up to date, so your class reunion committee can connect with you — and be among the first to receive reunion news!

- We will provide additional monthly communications promoting class reunions to all alumni celebrating.
