2025 Antioch College Reunion
July 24-27
“Antioch and the Arts”
Antiochians of all generations, it’s time to return home! The 2025 Antioch College Reunion is happening July 24-27 and we can’t wait to welcome you back to campus.
We’re especially excited to honor the Class of 1975 as they celebrate their 50th anniversary, but all classes are encouraged to come together! Whether you’re celebrating your 5th (2020), 10th (2015), 20th (2005), 25th (2000), or 65th (1960), this Reunion is the perfect time to reconnect classmates and connect with new friends. Organize your cohort and make plans to join us for this special weekend.
Expect four days of dynamic presentations, meaningful conversations, and interactive events designed to engage alums from every era. But let’s not forget the most cherished part of this event — the chance to reunite with old friends and share memories that span decades. Reach out to your classmates and encourage them to join you in Yellow Springs for an experience you won’t forget.
We look forward to welcoming you back to campus and celebrating the power of the Antiochian connection. Alumni are key to Antioch’s future, and what better way to engage with your community than by attending this memorable Reunion with your friends and classmates. See you in July!

Alumni Award Winners
Each year the Alumni Association honors six Antiochians with awards celebrating their achievements and contributions. Visit the Alumni website to learn more about the 2024 awards and recipients.
Call for Artists, Musicians and Performers
If you are a visual artist, musician, performer or create art in any media, please come to the Antioch and the Arts 2025 Reunion and share your creative energy with your fellow Antiochians!
We are planning a number of activities in which alumni can be active participants including: a show of artwork in Herndon Gallery, a hands-on puppet and mask workshop that could lead to a pop-up performance/parade, a book signing and musical tribute to the Gits, other opportunities for impromptu music making, a “Pitch Show” focused on entrepreneurial alumni in the arts (see, www.thepitchshow.biz) and more.
If you would like to submit works for the Herndon Gallery show (July 24-27), works should be no larger than 36” in any dimension and weigh no more than 20 pounds. If you are interested in submitting, please email the Alumni Association with a jpeg by April 30. A full prospectus will be sent separately to artists.
Artists are responsible for their own insurance and shipping charges and while there is no entrance fee, please consider donating $25 to cover exhibition costs. Please send works for sale. The proceeds of sales will be split 50% to the college and 50% to the artist. The show organizers encourage you to consider donating your 50%!
If you are a musician, consider bringing your instrument if it is portable as there may be opportunities to play with others. If you are an entrepreneur and would like to pitch for funding as part of The Pitch Show, further information will be provided on how to apply to be a contestant. Stay tuned for additional information on these and other exciting events at the Antioch and the Arts 2025 Reunion.
Volunteer Work Project
The summer 2025 Volunteer Work Project (VWP) for alumni will start Sunday, July 20th with a reception. Work starts Monday morning and will cover a variety of physical and administrative tasks (e.g. painting, carpentry, vehicle maintenance, event preparation, mailings, etc.). Meals during the week will be provided for you by a team of volunteer chefs. Your housing will be provided to you for free during the work week in Case Commons. If you attend Reunion, you may continue to stay in your room for free.
You’ll need to register for Reunion and RSVP for VWP separately. Since you’ll already have housing for the weekend, when you register for Reunion you do not need to add housing.
