45th Reunion

Given the popularity of Connecticut's Northwest Corner in the fall, we suggest that you make your reservation at a nearby accommodation as soon as possible. A list of popular lodging options and driving directions may be found here. Other properties for weekend rental can be found on Airbnb and VRBO.

As we plan for the arrival of alumni and their guests to the Hotchkiss campus, the Alumni Office is taking great care to manage the risks associated with COVID-19. 

We will continue to align our reunion guidelines with that of our campus guidelines. In consideration of the health and safety of visitors and our campus community, we are asking all attendees to be fully vaccinated. If you are unvaccinated, you will need to remain masked when inside all School buildings. We appreciate your understanding in the event that COVID-19 conditions necessitate any changes to this guidance.

Searching for your Hotchkiss friends before reunion? There is a group for your class on Alumnet, the online alumni community. Please join your class group to connect with classmates, share memories, and stay up to date on reunion plans!
