Is there a cost to attend the Alumni Weekend events?
All on-campus events hosted by the ESD Alumni Association are free to attend.
While ESD provides a budget for each class reunion, some classes may choose to charge a small fee to help cover total expenses for their specific off-campus gatherings. Please refer to the registration form for your specific reunion year for more detailed information and pricing.
