The Portland Alumni Chapter cordially invites you to celebrate the holiday season with a S’mores Head Cocktail Party in lieu of our traditional alumni holiday party. Due to the challenges of the pandemic, we’re unable to host our traditional dinner and dancing, so we’re moving the merriment outside for an early evening cocktail hour!
Enjoy treats with friends, reminisce about Reed and olde holiday traditions, and rejoice with the Boar's Head Singers and festivity—this year perhaps with umbrellas and a party tent (yes, there will be heaters).
