As a part of our Bicentennial celebration, Reunion Weekends leading up to our climactic 2026 will focus on key themes that have always been a part of the Reserve promise and carry through our mission today. This Reunion Weekend, we have built in programming to celebrate innovation at WRA, and how it plays a starring role in our curriculum now and in the centuries ahead. Learn from faculty and alumni in the field of innovation during Saturday’s panel discussions at “Prosecco, Pastries & Panel Discussions” from 9:30 - 11:00 a.m. The WRA Today Chapel program following the discussions will feature Robert Pappalardo, a project scientist, JPL Fellow and Senior Research Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Planetary Science Section.

President’s House will be open from 9am - 11am on Saturday, June 1 for tours and Admissions interviews for prospective families interested in attending Reserve. There are also group tours on Friday at 4 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Please let us know if you’d like to schedule something at an alternate time by contacting us at alumni@wra.net.

Children are welcome to attend most Reunion Weekend events, especially the picnic and family games on Saturday. Also, Admissions tours will be available! Adults only events: Friday’s Bluegrass on the Green and Saturday night’s Reunion Gala. Please plan accordingly as childcare will not be available on campus during these two events.
