1986 Reunion Page

Dear Classmates,

Happy Spring! 

Our BMC 40th Reunion is only a few weeks away – and we want to see you there (May 29-31)! 

Registration will close on Monday, May 11 – please don’t delay and register today. While onsite registration will be available during the weekend, on-campus housing cannot be added past May 11.  

Speaking of on-campus housing, we still don’t know which Dorm we will have, but we will let you know as soon as we do! 

We DO know that our Class Performance and celebration is scheduled for Saturday night, May 30 at 9:00 pm in Goodhart Music Room.  Come and join our classmates as we share life stories, enjoy some special libations at our very own “Bryn Bawr,” and generally mingle.

We DO know that our Step Sing song is Circle Game, so start brushing up now! 

And we DO know there is still time to order your class memento: Don’t let rain – or sun – stop the Powerhouse Class of ‘86! With this special umbrella, we can march together in the Parade of Classes in style (Saturday, May 30 at 9:15 am). Order yours today and pick it up on campus (Bookstore Hours: Friday, May 29, 9:00 am - 5 :00 pm and Saturday, May 30, 9:00 am -5:00 pm). Or ship directly to your home and pack it with you for Reunion!

To make this milestone Reunion even more meaningful, let's reach 57% giving participation by Friday, May 22, to unlock an additional $80,000 for our class gift. Every gift - of any size - moves us closer to that goal. Be one of our donors by giving online.

Please continue to check the Reunion website for information as you prepare for the weekend. Keep an eye on your email in the weeks leading up to Reunion for valuable information about arriving to campus, including the location of our class dorm and other class updates. 

We can’t wait to see you on campus!

Dear Classmates from the Fabulous Class of ’86,

To make this milestone Reunion even more meaningful, let's reach 57% class giving participation by May 22, 2026, to unlock an additional $80,000 for our class gift. Every gift - of any size - moves us closer to that goal. Be one of our donors by giving online at the website link above. (PS: Did you know the Class of 1985 hit 56% participation last year? Let's beat their record and show what '86 can do!  57% = 139 donors. Let's get there together.)

Thanks to everyone and can’t wait to see you in person in May!
