The weekend
A typical reunion has an all-class welcome, a class-specific dinner, campus tours to see what's changed, an academic session or two, and the football game. Registration opens in the summer; cost covers meals and events, with a discount for recent classes.
Volunteering
Classes with an active committee have better turnout — personal notes from classmates bring people back that a form email won't. The Alumni Office provides contact lists, a planning template, and a staff partner; the committee brings the relationships.
In and around Porter Falls
The UW–Porter Falls Foundation shares the Depot with admissions, which is deliberate: the people who fund scholarships and the students who receive them use the same front door. Most gifts to Porter are small, local and recurring.
The practical details
Cycle: Reunions cluster at Homecoming for classes at 5-year marks, plus a 50th-and-beyond celebration each spring. Committee: A volunteer group from the class plans the events and does outreach; the Alumni Office handles logistics and the mailing list. Class gift: Many reunion classes organize a gift to a fund the class chooses, announced at the weekend. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is UW–Porter Falls Foundation & Alumni Relations (Welcome Center at the Depot). Call (715) 555–0280 or email foundation@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
