Obie alums spanning generations returned for Homecoming and Reunion at the tail end of September. The gorgeous autumn weekend provided a fitting backdrop for festive celebrations all over campus: performances by conservatory musicians and others, catching up with old friends, dropping in on favorite spots, taking part in classes and reunion cluster activities, mixing with current students, cheering on our athletic teams, and basking in the glow of Illumination and fireworks.

Following are a few highlights from the weekend’s festivities. Find many more on our official Flickr page.
