When Kathy Vi ’04 returned to the University of Mary Washington last year for her 20th Reunion Weekend, it was exactly what she had in mind, filled with meaningful conversations, college memories and making connections with friends both old and new.
“It was a fantastic and focused weekend dedicated to these cherished relationships,” said Vi, who now serves on UMW’s Alumni Association Board of Directors. “Our college experience laid a crucial foundation for our lives, and the University continues to offer valuable resources, networks and a sense of belonging that enriches our lives today.”
As this year’s Reunion Weekend chair, Vi is excited to welcome back more than 500 alumni, families and friends to Mary Washington for 2025’s Reunion Weekend, held May 30 through June 1. While the event specifically honors classes ending in 0 and 5, all Eagles are invited back to campus to rediscover everything they loved about Mary Washington as students.
Attendees can look forward to a vibrant three-day schedule filled with lively class gatherings, a Ball Circle picnic, guided campus tours, thought-provoking lectures, family activities, commemorative photos, art exhibits, beverage tastings and more. And no Reunion Weekend would be complete without the time-honored tradition of visiting Carl’s for its famous frozen custard. Read more.
