Golden Reunion Weekend

Reunions are a time to reminisce and reconnect with those who impacted your time on the Hill. Each spring, Golden Reunion Weekend is a celebration of our classes 50+ years out.

Despite progress being made to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine both here in Maryland and nationally, our Return to the Hill committee, in consultation with the Carroll County Health Department, has advised that certain in-person events pose more risk, and restrictions on most gatherings will need to continue throughout McDaniel’s spring semester. Reunion events were among those identified as being high-risk and therefore will not be able to take place. We are hopeful that we will be able to gather in person to celebrate in the fall 2021.

Information will be shared this summer regarding a fall 2021 event.
