Reunion will be hosted as a week-long virtual experience beginning on Tuesday, June 1, through Friday, June 4, 2021.
Reunion will combine this year and last year’s Reunion classes for double the fun in 2021! We are excited to celebrate class years ending in 0, 1, 5 and 6.
The health and safety of the Villanova community are our top priorities. Given the global COVID-19 pandemic, the University must follow all county, state and federal guidelines regarding large gatherings and all campus events are currently being held virtually. Since restrictions on large gatherings will likely continue into the summer, the difficult decision was made to hold this year’s Reunion as an entirely virtual event, rather than cancel or postpone it. While we would like to celebrate in person, a virtual celebration still gives us an opportunity to connect in ways that are safe for all.
Reunion planning is a year-long process that requires coordination with campus partners, vendors and volunteers. While progress is being made with vaccinations, there are still uncertainties surrounding new strains and the trajectory of COVID-19. We cannot guarantee that large in-person gatherings will be safe by early summer, therefore shifting to a virtual Reunion now allows us to plan a thoughtful and creative celebration.
Several months of planning are needed for an event of this size and scale. As a result, we were not able to postpone a decision about Law Reunion 2021 any further.
At this this time, all Villanova events continue to be held virtually. Given the global COVID-19 pandemic, the University must follow all county, state and federal guidelines regarding large gatherings and all campus events. The CDC recommends avoiding large in-person gatherings where it is difficult for individuals to remain spaced at least 6 feet apart, and where attendees may travel from outside the local area. Travel also increases risks for transmitting COVID-19 due to exposure at airports, on public transit or in hotels.
All Villanova Law alumni, students, faculty, family and friends are invited to attend Reunion!
From June 1-4, 2021, virtual attendees will have the opportunity to attend a series of virtual events including coffee chats with faculty, CLE programs and a conversation with Dean Mark Alexander, JD.
The campus remains closed to the general public in an effort to keep students, faculty and staff safe by limiting the number of visitors to campus. More information on the University response to COVID-19 can be found here.
