Reunion 2025: Together Again

Reunion 2025 was celebrated during an abnormally cool and rainy weekend for New England in early June. Classes ending in 0s and 5s were celebrating a milestone year at Reunion 2025. This cohort missed their in-person Reunion milestone year in 2020, so it was especially poignant to have them back in 2025. Also returning this year were former longtime Eaglebrook faculty members.

While the rainy weather precluded some outdoor activities over the weekend, the feeling overall was positive. Classmates reunited on Friday evening in Gibbs Dining Hall for an indoor barbecue. Saturday began with a fantastic brunch, also in the dining hall, followed by a memorial service for all of the alumni and former faculty members who are no longer with us. 

Eaglebrook Today, a talk given by Andy and current Eaglebrook administrators about the school, its culture, and its health and vitality, took place before lunch on Saturday in the library. Saturday afternoon meant activities all over campus. Of special interest to many alums were the displays set up in the Eaglebrook Archives, newly located in the basement of the Evans Center. 

After dinner is served on Saturday, it is tradition to have a representative or two from each class come up and speak about Eaglebrook and what it means to them. “I attribute a good portion of my success to Eaglebrook,” said Seth Worcester ’80, and longtime faculty member. “I learned how to study, how to be successful in athletics, what it is like to be a leader, to have responsibility, to be trusted.” “I just can’t think of a better place for a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid who has questions about how the world works, who the people are who make things tick, what could be, what is happening, than right here,” said Mark Shepherd ’75 back on campus to celebrate his 50th Reunion.
