Alumni Events and Reunions
Alumni Weekend, April 19-20, 2024
Mark your calendars! We hope you will join us for Alumni Weekend, April 19-20, 2024. We will celebrate all alumni, and also hold special get-togethers for those celebrating milestone reunions.
Alumni Weekend 2023 was a huge hit! RE alumni flew in from Australia, Italy and Canada. They came from 28 states. They hailed from every decade dating back to 1954. All told, 363 alumni and more than 500 total guests attended Ransom Everglades' 2023 Alumni Weekend from April 21-23. They enjoyed events across both campuses, including at the recently opened La Brisa, the new administrative building on a swath of land leading from the bay.
More than 20 women from 1963 to 1975 reconnected at a special breakfast on the Everglades Campus. Steve Sawitz ’75 of Joe’s Stone Crab hosted a special luncheon for 65 alumni graduates at a 50 Year Club luncheon, and many then gathered for dinner at the Pagoda. The Classes of 1963, 1970, 1973, 1983, 1986-88, 1993, 1998 and 2003 celebrated special reunions, and their members showed up in droves.
