Weather
While we certainly hope for a beautiful Alumni Reunion Weekend, inclement weather is possible. Alumni Reunion Weekend will continue rain or shine. If severe weather requires us to adjust event locations or plans, we will communicate this to guests via text message.
We strongly recommend looking at the local weather ahead of your travels and planning your wardrobe accordingly.
Suggested Attire
Red & Black Soirée
Dress Code: Festive Red & Black (Smart Casual/Party Attire)
Attire for the evening typically falls between casual and cocktail: dress pants, collared shirts, blouses, dresses, or other polished ensembles are all appropriate. Blazers and ties are optional. Festive red and black encouraged! This all-classes welcome party and buffet dinner is held indoors in Tsai Commons (the dining area of the new Tsai Field House).
Saturday Lunch (Big Red Food Truck Picnic & 50th and Legends BBQ)
Dress Code: Casual
The Big Red Food Truck Picnic is held outdoors in the Circle. The 50th & Legends BBQ is held on the patio of Abbott Dining Hall. Sneakers or other comfortable footwear recommended. As always, red and black and Lawrenceville spiritwear welcome and encouraged.
Saturday Class Dinners
Dress Code: Festive Red & Black (Smart Casual/Cocktail Attire)
Attire for Saturday evening’s Class Dinners is generally left to each class’s discretion. Most attendees opt for cocktail attire—dress pants and button-downs with jackets, stylish dresses, or other polished ensembles. Red and black are always encouraged.
Reunion classes celebrating their 5th through 45th will dine outdoors under tents. We recommend footwear suitable for walking on grass—polished looks with comfortable shoes (yes, even sneakers with cocktail attire) are entirely appropriate.
Class dinners for the 50th Reunion and above will be held indoors.
Special Accommodations
If you require any accommodations to fully participate in Alumni Reunion Weekend events, or if you have questions of any kind, please don’t hesitate to contact the Alumni Office at aw@lawrenceville.org or (609) 895-2092. We’re here to help ensure your experience is comfortable and enjoyable.
Children
We welcome our youngest Lawrentians to join the Alumni Reunion Weekend festivities! The weekend is full of family-friendly activities, as well as activities specifically geared towards children. Some of these include:
- Tours of campus and the Big Red Farm
- Open Athletics at the Big Red Park and in Tsai Field House
- The Big Red Food Truck Picnic (inflatable obstacle courses, lawn games, kid-friendly food trucks, and more!)
- Children’s Craft Room in the Bunn Library
A family restroom with changing table is available in Abbott Dining Hall, and lactation rooms are available in Tsai Field House on Friday and Hogate Hall on Saturday. These will be noted on the Alumni Weekend Campus Map.
Children are warmly welcomed at daytime reunion events. However, please note that evening events on Friday and Saturday are reserved for guests 21 and older. Guests under 21 years of age are not permitted to attend the Red & Black Soiree on Friday or the Class Cocktail Hours and Dinners on Saturday.
Lawrenceville is unable to provide onsite childcare during Alumni Weekend. In recent years, alumni attending with children have made arrangements by bringing a trusted caregiver, hiring a sitter through services such as care.com or sittercity.com, or connecting with local classmates and friends for recommendations.
Smoking Policy
The “New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act” governs the grounds of “non-public secondary schools”. This bill prohibits smoking in workplaces and indoor public places throughout the State and it prohibits smoking in any area of any public or non-public elementary or secondary school, whether in the buildings or on the grounds of the school. Accordingly, the only places on the Lawrenceville campus where smoking is permitted are in individual personal residences or in personal automobiles.
Alcohol Policy
The Lawrenceville School, students, and alumni are subject to the laws of the State of New Jersey as they pertain to serving and consuming of alcoholic beverages. Serving and/or drinking alcoholic beverages in areas or at times other than those designated by the Alumni Office and/or bringing alcoholic beverages onto campus is prohibited.
Noncompliance with this policy will result in confiscation of beverages and possible dismissal from the campus. All bartenders and staff have the right to request proper ID and to refuse service at their discretion. Your cooperation with this policy is appreciated.

Navigating Campus

Golf cart transportation will be available throughout the weekend to assist you in traveling around campus. Our Alumni Office transportation team will make regular loops around campus, so keep an eye out and flag down a cart if you see one and would like a ride. Our drivers will make regular trips to and from the main parking lots. Drivers are almost always available outside of Tsai Field House.
