What is a cluster reunion? Members of the class above and below the milestone year will be invited to share in the celebration. We recognize that many of our alumni have spouses or friends in adjoining classes and therefore, combining three class reunions will hopefully encourage alumni who were part of the same major, organization or athletic team to get together and enjoy all that the weekend has to offer!
We are pleased to host the following cluster reunions in 2023:

Once you check-in you’ll have a chance to grab food and head over to your designated space to mingle and reconnect with your fellow alumni (Royal Reunions) or other parents/families (Family Dinner)! President Ross Allen will share a greeting and an update on where Bethel is headed. Following his message, alumni will be able to stay in the Monson Dining Center or head to their breakout reunion (if applicable) and parents/families will be able to stay in the Monson Dining Center.
