Reunion Student Program — General Reunion Support

Overview

Each year, current Smith students help make Commencement and Reunion successful, well-organized, and deeply memorable for thousands of alums. Working Reunion allows students to connect with fellow Smithies, gain hands-on event experience, and build relationships with the alum community.

The Office of Alum Relations hires approximately 200 students annually for about 6,000 shifts across multiple teams.

Reunion work runs from May 9, 2026, through May 24, 2026, with the following Reunion weekends:

  • Reunion I: May 14–17, 2026
  • Reunion II: May 21–24, 2026
