Alumni Celebration
Join Us October 15-16, 2021!
Join us for the annual Medical School Alumni Celebration on October 15-16, 2021. All Medical School alumni from the Duluth and Twin Cities campuses are invited back to campus to share in the festivities with faculty, fellow alumni and current students.
MD CLASS REUNIONS
Reunion gatherings will be held for the MD classes of 1961, 1966, 1971, 1996, and 2011, as well as the MD classes who were not able to have in-person reunions in 2020: 1960, 1965, 1970, 1980, 1985, 1990, and 1995. If you are interested in serving on your class reunion committee, contact Maureen Long at mlong@umn.edu.
COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS
Events will be held in person, provided it is safe to do so. Plans will move forward as though the event will be held in person, but an announcement will be made via email if it becomes necessary to shift to a virtual platform.

ASYNCHRONOUS ACTIVITIES
GIVE IN HONOR OF YOUR REUNION
Reunions are a great opportunity to come together as a class to show your support of the Medical School through a class gift. All gifts, pledges, and future estate commitments to support the Medical School made between January 1, 2020 and October 2021 when in-person reunions occur will count in your class' gift total. Find out what counts toward your class gift and consider making a gift in honor of your reunion.
