Yes! Reunion registrations are held separate from Homecoming registration. If you’d like the chance to receive a souvenir shirt, you’ll need to register for Homecoming and check-in at the tents near the entrance of the Alumni House. This is a new process in 2024, so please be patient with us. T-shirts are on a first come, first served basis while supplies last. Unfortunately, if you are unable to attend, we will not be able to mail your shirt.
