Become a Class Connector
If your class year ends in 2 or 7, your milestone reunion is coming up in 2027! Volunteer as a Class Connector and help bring your class together.
Here’s what you’ll do as a Class Connector:
- Personally reach out to your classmates (we’ll provide a contact list)
- Recruit a friend (or two) from your class to help with outreach
- Our team handles the rest — from booking venues to managing RSVPs — so you can focus on reconnecting with your classmates.
