Alumni & Parents
Social media
Follow a variety of alumni news on social media, including Facebook, Twitter (the Doyle Owl has been spotted there too!), and Tumblr. Also, check out our blog, The Riffin' Griffin, for announcements and content longer than 140 characters.
Career Services maintains a group on LinkedIn, and most of the regional chapter groups are on Facebook (search by local area, e.g., Bay Area, Boston, etc.).
Benefits of membership
Reed's alumni association is the organization of all Reed alumni (note the Latin terms). You are eligible to be a member if you earned at least seven units in a degree-seeking program at Reed. Whether you live in the Portland area or happen to be visiting, you may use various campus facilities and resources when you show an alumni association ID card. See the scoop on sports center use below.
News & Events
If you live elsewhere, you will receive news about alumni association events in your area (please keep your mailing address up to date in IRIS so that we know what "your area" is!).No matter where you live, nor which grad year you affiliate with, all are invited to Reunions each June!
All alumni receive, free of charge, the quarterly Reed magazine and ReediEnews, our electronic newsletter, and have access to our online alumni directory.
All alumni who use the sports center must present a current alumni association ID card and sign in at the cage. Alumni ID cards may be obtained at our office in Greywood, by calling 503/777-7589, or via email at alumni@reed.edu. When signing in, alumni are requested to identify the specific area (e.g., weight room, swimming pool, squash courts) that they intend to use.
During the academic year (when classes are in session), the facility is reserved for student use only (e.g., alumni not allowed) during the following peak hours: Monday through Friday, 4-7 p.m. and Saturday, 12-4 p.m. (weight room only).
The sports center is part of the educational institution and our classes and programs take priority in the facility, thus, alumni are requested to relinquish the use of any athletic equipment or space should they be asked. The center is unable to accommodate guests and family members of alumni.
