News & Events

On Saturday, December 13, the annual alumni holiday party will take place on campus. There will be people in festive attire, the December graduates, a buffet dinner, dancing and Reed's take on the traditional procession of the boar's head (see the 2006 video).

Reed Stories is an online extension of Reed's Oral History Project that seeks to compile recollections of Reed alumni, faculty, and staff to create a community history for the college's centennial in 2011. Whether yours is a memorable story of politics or pranks, of your initiation into Reed's life of the mind, or an example of the Honor Principle put to the test, we invite you to add your anecdotes, or just check out the stories already posted.* Add your voice to the mix for fun, for your peers, for posterity!

Are you an Alumni?

We think that this business about the proper way to refer to college graduates is confusing, so we are providing this primer on some alumni terms.

Benefits of membership

Reed's alumni association is the organization of all Reed alumni. You are eligible to be a member if you earned at least seven units in a degree-seeking program at Reed. Whether you live in the Portland area or happen to be visiting, you may use various campus facilities when you show an alumni association ID card. If you live elsewhere, you will receive news about alumni association events in your area. All alumni receive, free of charge, the quarterly Reed magazine and ReediEnews, our electronic newsletter, and have access to our online alumni directory.
