Volunteer Resources

Reunion is a fascinating form of time travel. March is all about indulging in that nostalgia - remembering the people, places, food, music, dances, and clothing that remind us of our college years. Depending on your time and interests, here are some ways you can contribute:

Gather photos and materials for your class website.

A virtual Reunion isn’t just about attending events - it’s also about creating online spaces where your class can share and connect over memories regardless of time zone. We work closely with our stellar colleagues in Archives to create class pages where alumni could view memorabilia, leave comments and share stories, and connect with Mac memories whenever it works for them. Here are a few ways to help:

  • Upload pictures to the shared Google Docs folder for your class. You can also share a link to this folder to other members of your class so they can add whatever they want! (Tip: If you've had a Reunion at Mac before, you might want to see if you can find a version of class slideshows from the past).

  • Post on social media and encourage your classmates to share their own favorite pics. This can be a particularly fun weekly prompt in a class Facebook group - just make sure you start the sharing with a picture of your own.

Build up your class playlist

What’s that one song that always pulls you back to your time at Mac? Maybe it was your favorite jam from the Café Mac jukebox (RIP), whatever made you shake it in Kagin, or the song you and your first year roommate used to belt out at the top of your lungs. Add it to your class playlist on Spotify! Sometimes nothing sparks memories quite like hearing those songs again. We've created collaborative Spotify playlists, so just add your songs, and we'll add it to your class website to share widely.
