IVY DAY BREAKING NEWS
Ivy Day will be held indoors at the Indoor Track and Tennis Complex (supposed to rain all weekend). Under a new policy, NO BAGS OR PURSES are allowed at Ivy Day (not even our tote bags). The college will provide a bag check station at the ITT but it will be helpful if you have pockets for your phone, tissues, extra glasses, etc so you don’t need to check a bag. The policy says that “Individuals who have a medical need to carry a bag may be permitted entry upon bag search.” See more details in the policy linked above.

REUNION HEADQUARTERS
- Our HQ is Lamont House! It is close to the center of campus and has spacious common rooms and a piano.
- We will be housed in Lamont and next door in Gillett and Northrop. You will learn your house and room assignment at check-in.
- All three houses have elevators to accommodate our aging bodies!
- Because Lamont is an “allergy restricted” residence, our meals will be held across the street in Cutter/Ziskind.

TRAVEL INFORMATION
Planes, trains, and automobiles: The following link to Smith’s reunion website provides information regarding air, train, and bus information to Northampton including car service from Bradley International to Smith, and where to park at Smith. https://www.smith.edu/alums/reunion#parking-and-transportation-5
Ride Board: Remember the Ride Board in the basement of Seelye? We have the 21st century equivalent (sort of) for our 50th reunion. We encourage people to share rides to reunion from your metro area, from Bradley International etc. It minimizes our environmental footprint, builds community, and is fun! See more information about the Reunion Ride Board.
