Faculty, staff and the general public are invited to join UVM alumni for the annual reunion weekend speakers series and other events, Thursday-Sunday, June 4-7. Upwards of 2,000 UVM alumni and families representing more than 70 years of UVM history will return to the campus over the course of the weekend to renew their ties to the university and take part in reunion activities, which this year have a decidedly jazzy flair. Musical highlights include the debut performance of the UVM Jazz Collective, featuring UVM music faculty, at the Davis Center and a Discover Jazz reunion performance of the '90s era band Belizbeha at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts.

Other highlights of the weekend include the "Voices of Vermont" speaker series featuring faculty and alumni, campus tours, the alumni awards ceremony, and Saturday's annual picnic on the green.

For those in need of child care during the weekend, Vermont Nanny Connection is a full-service childcare placement agency that has found sitters for Reunion attendees in previous years. Visit their website at vermontnannyconnection.com for details.

More information on Reunion Weekend, including a complete schedule of events, is available online: alumni.uvm.edu/reunion, or by calling (888) 458-8691.
