Where do I pick up my dorm assignment?
Stop by the Reunion Housing desk in the Academic Commons on the first floor of the Goddard Library after picking up your Reunion materials to receive your room assignment, keys, and key cards.
What is my assigned residence hall?
Each reunion class is assigned to a specific hall/floor so that alumni from the same class are near one another. Once we fill designated class areas, we will fill room assignments on a space-available basis. The Johnson Sanford Center Residence Hall will house most alumni staying on campus.
What are the on-campus housing options?
Single and double dorm rooms are available. A traditional single room contains one twin bed, and a traditional double room has two twin beds. Each floor of the residence halls has a shared bathroom for all residents. We provide our guests basic linen, a pillow, a blanket, a towel, and a facecloth. Please note that we are no longer offering suite-style housing for reunion.
What if I don’t want to stay on campus?
Alumni who plan to stay off-campus during Reunion Weekend should register directly with the hotel of their choice. Our hotel blocks sell out very quickly. We recommend you book off-campus accommodations as soon as possible.
What if I need to cancel part/all of my reservation?
In the unfortunate event that you must cancel your reunion reservation, please notify the Office of Stewardship and Donor Relations at (508) 798-4364 or email Megan Horvitz at mhorvitz@clarku.edu.

Can I bring my dog to Reunion?
Clark University is a dog-friendly campus, but we ask that you refrain from bringing your furry friends to our large outdoor events, including our Spree Day BBQ and the All-Class Cocktail Reception, for the safety of our guests and your pets. Otherwise, dogs are allowed in outdoor areas on campus. Please observe Clark’s Dog Policy: all dogs must be on leash when on Clark University property. The person with the dog must clean up dog waste at the time. No animals will be allowed in University buildings at any time. The only exceptions will be seeing-eye dogs and hearing-assist dogs.
