Every year, dozens of Classes and other groups of Aggie friends return to the Texas A&M campus to reunite with their Aggie Classmates. Reunions usually consist of several social events surrounded by fun Aggie activities. Fall Reunions often center around Aggie football, whereas spring Reunions often center around Aggie baseball or basketball games. Class Reunions also consist of a formal business meeting in which Class Agents are elected, Class gifts are discussed and official Class business is carried out. The Former Student Programs team at The Association works with Class Agents and others to plan Reunions that are fun for Aggies of all ages!
Reunions can be classified into two categories: Formal Reunions and Mini-Reunions.
Formal Reunions are those that occur at five-year intervals starting at the 25 Year Reunion and conclude with the 55th Anniversary Reunion, when a Class is inducted into the Sul Ross Group. They typically are scheduled around a sporting event on campus and last two to three days. Since formal Reunions occur at five-year intervals, attendance tends to be greater than at a Mini-Reunion. Additionally, more Association staff resources and support go towards Formal Reunion logistics.
Mini-Reunions are those that occur in between Formal Reunions. They are typically smaller gatherings that take place locally in College Station or elsewhere around the state. Most of the time, there are fewer activities at a Mini-Reunion and the atmosphere is more relaxed, allowing free time for visitation or activities on your own. Please note, Class Agents have more responsibilities to plan and execute a Mini-Reunion versus a Formal Reunion, and Class Agents are responsible for managing all on-site event logistics during the Mini-Reunion and handling all payments. For a Mini-Reunion, The Association will assist by sending emails to Classmates to help spread the word, create nametags, and publish information on the Reunion webpage. The Association will support one Mini-Reunion per year, per Class.
