Reunion offers a chance to reconnect with old friends, relive your time on campus, discover the latest happenings at Merrimack and so much more.
Each year, we have gathered to celebrate Reunion—including last month, when we welcomed back class years ending in ‘0’ and ‘5. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, however, attendance has declined, often due to busy schedules. Many alumni have shared ideas about reimagining Reunion, including aligning it with a major campus event, a model embraced by many colleges.
After thoughtful consideration, we are excited to introduce a new approach: Beginning this fall, Reunion will take place during Homecoming Weekend—Merrimack’s largest annual event, drawing over 15,000 alumni, students and families for a weekend of celebration, culminating in Saturday’s football game.
Beginning May 2026, we are also proud to launch a new tradition celebrating our Golden Graduates—alumni marking their 50th Reunion and beyond. Golden Graduates will be invited to participate in Commencement, including the special honor of walking in the Commencement procession—a powerful moment that will bring together generations of Warriors and celebrate their lifelong connection with Merrimack. The celebration will include a Golden Graduate Luncheon and Mass on campus.
Beginning this fall, Homecoming, Reunion and Alumni Weekend will bring together our most cherished traditions with the vibrant energy of Homecoming festivities. This reimagined weekend welcomes every Warrior back to campus to reconnect with classmates, engage across generations and experience the energy of Merrimack in the fall — alive with students, families and unmatched school spirit. From tailgates and alumni gatherings to family-friendly fun, there is something for everyone—and endless memories and new traditions waiting to be made.
We will share additional schedules and details in the coming weeks.
