alumni reunion

Former students meet

An alumni reunion is a gathering of former students or members of an institution, typically organized by a school, university, or organization to reconnect people who shared that experience.

These events often coincide with milestone anniversaries: She's flying back for her twenty-year alumni reunion.

The singular would technically be "alumnus reunion" or "alumna reunion," but alumni reunion serves as the standard compound regardless of how many graduates attend.
