college reunion

Graduates meet again

A college reunion is a scheduled gathering of former classmates, typically organized by the institution at regular intervals—five, ten, twenty-five years after graduation.

Attendees return to campus to reconnect, reminisce, and measure how their lives have unfolded against those of their peers: I'm dreading my college reunion—I haven't accomplished anything.

The events often involve nostalgia, awkward conversations, and comparisons of careers and families.
