  2023 Antioch College Reunion
July 13 -16th

We are excited to welcome all classes of alumni back to campus for Reunion. We will be celebrating the the 50th anniversary class of 1973. Other anniversary years like the 5th, 25th, and 65th are encouraged to organize your cohorts to return this year to celebrate together.

We are planning a variety of presentations, engaging conversations, and interactive events to interest alums from every year and discipline. Highlights include:

  • Multigenerational panels on topics such as student activism, the 1973 strike, and queer culture at Antioch
  • A celebration of the Antioch Environmental Field Program and its legacy: Antioch’s trailblazing approach to environmental science and sustainability
  • Cabaret Horace and Div Dance

Of course, the best part of Reunion is the opportunity to reconnect with your friends. We encourage you to reach out to your classmates and invite them to join you.

We’ll also have fun, new elements this year for all ages:

>>> Kickball, karaoke, bonfire
>>> Family Halls and Kids Activities
>>> Alumni Art Show
>>> Food  and coffee trucks
>>> Antioch Arts Festival

Alumni engagement is critical to Antioch’s future–and there is no better way to engage than attending Reunion with your friends and classmates. We look forward to having you back to campus and Yellow Springs!

Volunteer Work Project

The summer 2023 Volunteer Work Project (VWP) for alumni will start Sunday, July 9th with a reception and dinner. Work starts Monday morning and will cover a variety of physical and administrative tasks (e.g. painting, carpentry, vehicle maintenance, event preparation, etc.). Most meals during the week will be provided to you.

Your housing will be provided to you for free during your stay through July 13th in West Hall.  If you attend Reunion July 13-16th, you may continue to stay in your West Hall room for free. When you register for Reunion, select the VWP option in the Basic Package. More VWP details will follow. You must participate in VWP the whole week to receive free housing.

Housing

There are three types of housing available for Reunion for 2023:

  • Area Hotels, B&Bs, and Rentals

On Campus, Dorm Rooms:

We have a number of on-campus dorm rooms available for guests in North Hall. Please note the following:

  • We will have halls that are specifically for families with kids.

On Campus, Camping:

Camping will be available, free of charge, on the lawn between West Hall and the Coretta Scott King Center (the location of the former Presidents dorms). Please indicate your intention to camp on campus when you register. You must provide your own tent and camping supplies.

COVID-19 Policies and Procedures

While the COVID-19 virus is not gone, public health conditions have improved to a point where COVID is effectively being self-managed similar to other illnesses. We believe this is an appropriate update to the College’s health protocols given the sustained, manageable level of COVID in the community.

Antioch has moved to a policy of strongly recommending the COVID-19 vaccination series and booster for all visitors, faculty, staff, and students. Proof of vaccination and booster and/or test results will no longer be required. Masking is optional (and welcome). Antioch College is requiring visitors, faculty, staff, and students to follow CDC guidelines for masking after COVID-19 infection or exposure.
