Key items to understand or be aware of about our 25th Reunion.

What will our 25th Reunion cost?

There will be three categories of cost for Class members who participate in our 25th Reunion:

  1. 25th Class Jacket
    • On sale now, via the 1997 Store
    • We have past our factor order date, so all purchases are now final, while supplies last
    • Jackets cost $375 each
  2. Registration Fees
    • Visit our Registration information page for details
    • Full Weekend:
      • Adults cost $499 (Early-Bird)
      • Children cost $150 (Early-Bird)
    • Costs are slightly lower for Saturday-only
    • Early Bird Pricing ends March 1, 2022
  3. Travel / Housing costs
    • Hotel or other accommodations (see Housing page for options and costs)
    • Air Transportation (varies)
    • Rental cars

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 the last in-person 25th Reunion for the Class of 1994 back in 2019.

It is our desire to welcome as many 1997 members to our 25th 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.

How will the pandemic affect our 25th Reunion?

We’re not completely sure, but we know that things will be different from previous years. At present, we are planning for an on-site major reunion, but we are assuming that our plans may need to change. Given the University’s visitor policy, we know that alumni and guests must abide by vaccination requirements in order to attend in person.

As May 2022 approaches, we can expect that there are likely to be restrictions on campus access, a need to wear face masks, limits on University building access, and how many people will be allowed to congregate at the 25th. Additionally, these policies may also affect our ability to provide meals and arrange for on-campus housing. These policies are being reviewed regularly and may be updated at any time. As soon as we know more, we will be certain to update you via this reunions website.

When is our 25th Reunion?

Our 25th Reunion is scheduled to take place on the Princeton University campus May 19 – 22, 2022.
