Our 30th Reunion is scheduled to take place on the Princeton University campus May 20 – 23, 2027.

We understand that you may have many questions about the 30th Reunion. We’re working to find answers as quickly as we can. Please provide feedback regarding what we can do to help by submitting a question on our Help Page.

Glad you asked! We have a nifty page dedicated just for that. We will be in touch soon – thanks!

Though we are still setting our fees/costs, you can assume that rates will be similar to previous major reunions. There will be three categories of cost for Class members who participate in our 30th Reunion:

1. Registration Fees
   • Full Weekend:
     • Adults (Early-Bird and Regular)
     • Children cost (Early-Bird and Regular))
   • We will also offer Saturday-only pricing
   • Early Bird pricing ends March 1, 2027
   • Registration fee includes a costume, t-shirt, and food/beverage at the 1997 HQ site throughout the weekend. Your housing and travel expenses are separate.
2. Travel / Housing costs
   • Hotel or other accommodations (see Housing page for options and costs)
   • Air Transportation (varies)
   • Rental cars
3. 25th Class Jacket
   • We will make a limited number of 25th Jackets available via pre-order
   • All purchases while supplies last
   • Jacket cost still being finalized

We understand that for many Class members, especially those with families, this is a non-trivial expense. We are making every effort to keep costs in check and expect that our pricing will be consistent with recent 30th Reunions.

It is our desire to welcome as many 1997 members to our 30th Reunion as possible. To ensure the largest gathering possible, we will provide financial assistance for members of the Class (guests and children are not included). To learn more, please contact Jonathan Mendelson ’97. Your identity will not be shared with anyone else in the Class nor with the University.

When registration opens (Winter 2026), you may optionally purchase on-campus and potentially other local college dorms (e.g. Rider University).

At this time, you may wish to consider hotel accommodations in the area nearby campus. See our Housing page for more details.

We expect that beds will sell out quickly, so register early. Given the limited supply, we will require 3-Day (full weekend) registration package on a first-come, first-served basis to order a bed.

We expect to open registration for a major reunion in Winter 2026. However, you may wish to make travel arrangements (in particular, hotel or flight reservations) in advance. We will announce a specific date on this site and via broadcast email to the Class later this fall.
