Reunion Student Host Program
Every June, alumni return to celebrate milestone Reunions for their class - 5th, 25th, even their 75th. Current students act as hosts for returning alumni, showing them the changes on campus, telling them about Rensselaer today, and listening to stories of what the campus was like when they were here. Alumni consistently say that the Reunion Student Hosts are one of their favorite parts of returning to campus. Sign up now! Contact Geoff Seber at seberg@rpi.edu or (518) 276-2324.

Rensselaer Alumni Association Back-to-Campus Speaker Series
This program brings alumni with significant life achievements to campus to speak with students on topics of current interest.
