Reunion Dinner Venues
There are many locations on campus suitable for class cocktail parties and dinners, though not all are indoors. (Remember, landmark reunions have first request on venues.) Rooms large enough to hold 100+ people are in short supply, and tents are used throughout reunion weekend to accommodate larger groups. Reunion dinner venues are requested by classes and assigned by AAVC according to requests, group size, and class landmark status.
