Reunion
An unforgettable weekend awaits you. Save the date for Darden Reunion Weekend 2023, 28–30 April!
An unforgettable weekend awaits you 28–30 April 2023. Spend time with old friends and beloved faculty. Experience Darden’s world-class hospitality and fabulous food. Attend class parties on and off Grounds, meet friends under the tent at the Foxfield Horse Races, dance to live music at the Saturday night soiree, and enjoy other scheduled events. Registration will open in early February, but we recommend booking hotel accommodations now!
We will welcome back to Grounds the classes ending in 3s and 8s, in addition to the 2022 MBA and Executive MBA classes. Abbott Society members (1957-72), who have celebrated their 50th Reunion in past years, are all welcome.
Active on social media? Share your Reunion experiences with #DardenReunion.
Please contact the Office of Engagement at alumni@darden.virginia.edu if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you 28–30 April 2023!
Reunion Giving
Darden Reunion Weekend draws hundreds of alumni home each year to celebrate their place in Darden’s history, renew and deepen ties to the faculty and Darden community, and reflect on what the School means to them. Reunion giving allows classes to align philanthropy to impact the future of the School and honor its legacy of excellence.
