Parking
During Reunion, you may park in any campus lot. You must have a permit for handicapped spaces, and rules for use of fire lanes and hydrants remain in effect. Please note that the meters on 15th Street are Troy City meters, and if you park there without paying the meter, you will be ticketed.
Shuttle Bus Service
A shuttle bus will run a continuous circuit between the Heffner Alumni House, the Rensselaer Union, and Barton Hall throughout the weekend. However, the driver can take you to other campus destinations.
Childcare
Children are welcome at all Reunion events. For your convenience, however, childcare is available for Friday and Saturday evenings at a cost of $25 per child per night. Services are provided by Samaritan-Rensselaer Children’s Center, a fully licensed facility that provides service for Rensselaer employees. This service is paid in advance on the registration form.
Cancellations
Cancellations received prior to May 30 will be refunded in full. Sorry, we cannot make refunds on cancellations received after May 30, as final counts will have been submitted and we must pay in full for you even if you do not attend.
What Should I Wear?
Nearly every event is casual, which means shorts, sandals or whatever makes you comfortable. The only dress-up events are the Saturday night class dinners, and the Class of 1958 50th Reunion Dinner which are business casual. For the Red & White Bash we encourage you to wear RPI colors – red and white! For the Luau, we encourage attendees to wear a Hawaiian shirt.
