Reunion registration officially opened for George Eastman Circle Members on August 14th. This gives you a head start on the events for Meliora Weekend and there are sure to be sellouts! The GEC is a great way to give back, and has perks like the early registration. I became a GEC member a few years ago.

If you are not a GEC member, consider joining and support the UR through this membership. It also counts towards your reunion gift!
