Thinking Reed: A Centennial Celebration
We’re bringing the party to you.
Reed's centennial celebration is hitting the road! We've charted a course through all chapter cities, where we'll put on festivities that include a hosted reception, video presentation, and brief remarks from a notable graduate who will discuss how a Reed education influenced his or her achievements (these speakers all penned essays for the new volume, Thinking Reed). Also, we'll toast retiring president, Colin Diver.

 

Working Weekend

On February 3-5, more than 70 alumni with a myriad of professional experiences will descend on campus to help current students and other alumni in learning more about potential career options. Reed will hold its first ever "Working Weekend," a career-focused and entrepreneurship-focused event that is open to all. To RSVP and view the complete schedule (including presenter biographies), visit the Working Weekend homepage.

 

Holiday party

More rapid than owls, his coursers they came.reindeer
And he whistled and shouted, and called them by name;
Now Diver! Now Doyle! Now Chittick and Ladd!
On Foster! On Scholz! On Quincy in plaid!
So up to the Holiday Party they flew for dinner with friends and dancing too.


Alumni, faculty, staff, parents, and friends reveled at the annual Reed Alumni Holiday Party on Saturday, December 17, 2011.

Benefits of membership

kerr_etchingReed's alumni association is the organization of all Reed alumni. 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 when you show an alumni association ID card. If you live elsewhere, you will receive news about alumni association events in your area. All alumni receive, free of charge, the quarterly Reed magazine and ReediEnews, our electronic newsletter, and have access to our online alumni directory.

 

Sports center refresher

School is in session, and we'd like to share this reminder about alumni benefits and services on campus, especially regarding the sports center:

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.
