Reunions 2027
Frequently Asked Questions

A:  Reunions will take place on the following weekend. 

June 11-13, 2027

The following classes are celebrating a reunion: 

Classes of: 1957, 1962, 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, 2017, 2022 & 2026

A: Great question. While Commencement takes place in May, moving Reunions to a dedicated weekend in mid-June is a deliberate decision to improve the overall experience for alumni.

Commencement weekend at Tufts has become increasingly complex, with limited space, overlapping events, and high demand on campus resources. Alumni have consistently shared that it can feel crowded and difficult to navigate, which can take away from the reunion experience.

By shifting Reunions to June, we hope to create a more focused and enjoyable alumni celebration. A standalone weekend gives us the opportunity to offer:

• More time and space to reconnect with classmates
• Expanded, alumni-centered programming
• Better access to campus spaces, including more on-campus lodging
• Less competition for hotels in the area
• A more relaxed, celebratory atmosphere overall

Ultimately, this change ensures that Reunions can truly stand on their own as a signature alumni event, rather than competing with the many priorities of Commencement weekend.

Public Transportation 

If you are coming by the MBTA subway, often called the “T,” you can travel to Tufts on the Red Line or the Green Line. 

You can take the Green Line E branch to the Medford/Tufts stop. When exiting the station onto Boston Ave, the main area of the Tufts Medford/Somerville campus is directly across the street on the hill.

Alternatively, you can take the Red Line to the Davis Square station. Exit the Davis Square station on the College Avenue side. You may take the #94 or #96 bus (which both leave from the Davis Square T entrance directly across from the 7-Eleven convenience store, NOT the entrance next to the Somerville Theatre) or walk 15 minutes along College Avenue to the Tufts campus.

• If you board the bus, you will get off at the stop titled "Boston Avenue at Tufts Garage." The bus stop is across the street from a large, seven-story parking garage. 
• If you walk, turn right out of the subway station and follow College Avenue to the Powderhouse Square traffic circle. Cross Powderhouse Circle to continue on College Avenue. As you continue on College Avenue, the Tufts Campus will be on your left. 

From Boston Logan Airport

By car: Enter "Logan International Airport" as your starting destination into Google Maps, and Tufts University as your destination.

At South Station, board the Red Line (subway) to Davis Square. It should be about a 15 to 20 minute ride. Follow the directions in the previous section on getting to Tufts by subway.

A: We want that, too! One great way to help is by becoming a volunteer for Reunions. Each class has a group of volunteers that help encourage attendance for Reunions. They send e-mails, make calls, and reach out to friends via social media to help guarantee a good class turn out. If you're not sure you want to be a volunteer, you can still encourage friends by reaching out to your personal networks and sharing your enthusiasm for Reunions on Facebook. The most important part of encouraging attendance is leading by example. If you register for Reunions, your friends are more likely to register for Reunions! To learn more about volunteering, please email Alice.Shah@tufts.edu. 

A: Yes, you can! We encourage classmates to invite friends from adjacent years to join reunions. It's a great way to reconnect with a broader group of friends and make the event even more enjoyable. When they register, just have them use the non-reunion year registration type, and they will be able to see all events

A: We are still working with the Tufts University bookstore on availability during Reunions.  Check back in the spring to see bookstore hours.
