Scots Pride Reunion

Welcome, Scots Pride! We're excited to have you back on campus for Reunion 2023.

Pride-specific events

We will work together to determine the Scots Pride programming. For context, each Class Reunion will have a gathering on Friday and a dinner on Saturday.

The gathering is a happy hour-esque event without much structure - a space to connect and catch up, along with a cash bar. These include a Spotify playlist for this event (see below) with song recommendations from committee members and our Scots Pride community. One member of the planning committee should also speak briefly to welcome folks back to campus.

The dinner is a more "formal" event with a sit-down dinner.

playlist and slideshow

Collect photos for your class slideshow in this Google folder. At least one person on your committee should be responsible for pulling these into a Google Slides or PowerPoint presentation in May to be played at your class dinner. Here are a few different ways to engage folks with your slideshow:

  • Post your favorite pic on social and encourage others to add some in the Google folder

  • Hop into the Archives and search for Mac Weekly articles from your time at Mac

  • Coordinate a "photo nostalgia" day where people go through their old photos and send their favorites to each other.

Add songs to your collaborative class Spotify playlist! Here are a few different ways to engage folks with the playlist:

  • Post a poll in your class' Facebook group or on your own page about the music that reminds folks of their time at Mac

  • Include a link in your emails/texts

  • Listen to the playlist while you're writing emails/postcards/texts

Scots Pride outreach

One area in which you can make a significant impact as a Reunion volunteer is outreach to Scots Pride members. Telling folks that you're excited about Reunion and want to see them there is more impactful than any email the college could send!

  • Help write an email for your group for January. We need 2-3 members of your group to help write an email that will go to your entire group in January encouraging them to come back for Reunion. We've found these emails are more impactful when they are written by alumni. Here is some sample email language; this draft is due Monday, January 20.

  • Reach out to classmates directly. We've created a Reunion toolbox within MacDirect, the alumni directory, that will give you access to classmates' contact information (except for those who have asked us not to give it out). Use the toolbox to sign up to contact at least ten alumni about Reunion, and then reach out to them individually via email, text, social, or in-person.
