Celebrate
Reunion at Thurtene Carnival is packed with exciting events on campus and around St. Louis, but there are a few extra-special reunion experiences you don’t want to miss. These signature events include the Welcome Back Party and the Alumni BBQ, and – of course – your Class of 2022 Party! We’re eagerly working on a full schedule, so check back in early 2027 to read about all the receptions, tours, and events we have planned.
Class of 2022 Party
Reconnect with the Class of 2022. Enjoy an open bar, gourmet food stations, a DJ, and fun photo opportunities while sharing memories with old friends.
Saturday Night After-Party
The Class of 2022 reunion committee invites 5th reunion celebrants to join classmates following Saturday night’s Class Party. Join for a night cap, to reconnect with friends, great conversation, or simply to extend the fun. Classmates will gather for an informal meet-up immediately following the Class Party. No need to register. Just attend. Pay-as-you-go bar.

Campaign Progress
At WashU, we believe in the power of tradition, community, and the transformative impact of education. Your reunion year is not only an opportunity to reconnect with old friends but also a chance to make a meaningful contribution to the institution that played a significant role in shaping your journey.
Be a part of the time-honored tradition of giving back through your reunion class gift. Regardless of the size of your contribution, every gift makes an impact on the university, its students, and the larger community.
In celebration of the Class of 2022’s 5th Reunion, Colleen Conrado Ferguson, BFA ’06, and Tom Ferguson, MBA ’08, JD ’08, are pleased to offer a special class challenge. Their generous $500,000 commitment will match, dollar for dollar, all new, renewed, and multi-year pledge gifts made in honor of reunion.
WashU has played a meaningful role in both Colleen’s and Tom’s lives. Colleen’s undergraduate experience as a member of the Class of 2022 established a lifelong connection to the university, while Tom’s time as a graduate and law student further deepened their shared WashU ties.
