Organising a Reunion

Reunions are becoming more and more popular but where do you start?
Where is everyone now? 
How do I go about getting in touch with lost friends?  

Tips on how to organise your own reunion
  • Plan 12-18 months ahead
  • Choose a date (most people use their 5, 10, 25, 30, 40, 50-year anniversary of graduating)
  • Decide on the type of event and venue (on/off campus, dinner or informal pub/bar gathering) and if it is in the centre of Birmingham, would you like a tour of campus and your former academic department?
  • Put together a working team
  • Draw up a plan for finding your lost contemporaries - we are happy to help you find and contact your former class mates and invite them on your behalf
  • Decide whether spouses/partners will be invited
  • Prepare estimated costs and set a ticket price if applicable
  • Contact your academic department
  • Get in touch with the Development & Alumni Relations Office
