Alumni Return to Dalton to Celebrate Their Reunions

What a night to remember! More than 500 people (alumni, guests, faculty, and staff) from about 20 states returned to Big Dalton on a beautiful May evening for Dalton’s Reunion 2026.
For these particular classes, this was the first in-person Reunion opportunity at 89th Street since 2011.

After gathering outside Dalton’s entrance beneath a festive balloon arch, Alums from class years ending in 1 and 6 — from 1956 to 2021 — headed to their individual spaces to celebrate this milestone. Some returned to Dalton for the first time since walking through the Arch as a graduating senior in the Martin Theater. The Dalton Chorale, led by Jason Ekaireb ’74, performed on floors 2 and 10. 

Throughout the building, you could hear laughter, lively conversations, and year-specific playlists. Some festivities began before the main event and continued long after, with off-campus gatherings. 

Thank you to our dedicated group of Reunion Planning Committee members who partnered with the Alumni Office to make the event a warm and welcoming evening. Save the date for next year’s Reunion for Alums with Classes ending in 2 and 7 on Friday, May 21, 2027!
