Reunion and Alumni Week

Reunion – A Yearlong Event
Your class reunion is not only a personal milestone, but a time to reconnect with classmates, and with Punahou. Reunion begins in August, when classmates form activity and gift commitees to plan class events and raise a meaningful class gift. Alumni create web pages and start social media groups early on, to get classmates organized and excited.

Throughout the year, a variety of local and mainland events offer opportunities to celebrate with classmates, culminating in the festivities of Alumni Week, including Alumni Lu'au.

Something for Everyone, Reunion Year or Not
Each June, the Office of Alumni Relations coordinates a concentrated week of opportunities to celebrate and connect, both for reunion year classes and for all alumni.

This "Alumni Week" includes a number of on-campus reunion and nonreunion activities, as well as a variety of class-specific events organized by reunion activity committee volunteers.
