In view of the ongoing COVD-19 pandemic, we recommend that Reunion Weekend guests be either fully vaccinated against COVID-19, or have a negative COVID-19 test prior to attending the reunion and use appropriate COVID-19 mitigation practices while on campus. 

Reunion Weekend is relatively new to Mercyhurst University, the first being celebrated in 2010. Those that attended the event thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, thus allowing us to make the weekend a yearly celebration. Reunion Weekend seeks to honor Landmark Reunions (celebrating their 60th, 55th, 50th, 40th, 30th, 25th, 10th, and 5th Reunions) and honor distinguished alumni that represent the University in our community, nationally and internally. It is our intention that graduates coming back to campus relive their years on the Hill and celebrate with classmates; making for one of most memorable weekends alumni can have.

All alumni are invited. We are celebrating the Landmark Reunions of:

• Classes of 1960, 1961, 1962 (60th)
• Classes of 1965, 1966, 1967 (55th)
• Classes of 1970, 1971, 1972 (50th)
• Classes of 1980, 1981, 1982 (40th)
• Classes of 1995, 1996, 1997 (25th)
• Classes of 2010, 2011, 2012 (10th)
• Classes of 2015, 2016, 2017 (5th) 
• Torchbearer Classes (Graduates before 1970 are welcomed back each year and awarded Torchbearer medals during the Alumni Awards Ceremony)

While you are more than welcome to stay wherever you please, we highly recommend the convenient comforts of staying here on campus.
