Reunion

Reconnect. Reminisce. Relive.

Campus was full of sunshine, excitement and energy during Reunion Weekend 2024!

More than 1,700 alumni and guests joined us for a variety of events throughout the weekend, celebrating class years ending with 4 or 9 as well as all emeritus classes.

The Bucknell Reunion Team is thankful for the many contributions of this year's Reunion class volunteers, who undoubtedly helped make Reunion 2024 a success for their classmates and the Bucknell community.

Congratulations to the Class of 1994 for winning the Reunion Class Gift Award, the Class of 1984 for winning the Orange and Blue Spirit Award, the Class of 2019 for being the class who most greatly exceeded both their donor participation goal and attendance goal, the Class of 1974 for winning the Attendance Award and the recipients of the 2024 Bucknell University Alumni Association Awards.
