class reunion
Graduates meet again
A class reunion is a gathering of former classmates, typically organized years after graduation from high school or college.
These events occur at intervals—ten, twenty, or fifty years out—giving attendees a chance to reconnect, compare life trajectories, and revisit shared memories: I'm dreading my twentieth class reunion.
