  • Dorcas Legacy Scrapbook

    The Dorcas Society is as old as Westover itself—which means generations of memories, stories, and wisdom are waiting to be preserved. Join us on Friday, June 6, after dinner for a special gathering to celebrate your Dorcas experience and leave a legacy for the next Junior Class.
    Each attendee will have the chance to create a scrapbook page using printed photos from the archives and personal reflections. Consider:
    • What do you remember most about your class’s Dorcas Society?
    • What do you want next year’s Juniors to know about Dorcas and the spirit of philanthropy?
    • How has giving back remained part of your life since Westover?
    Come reflect, reconnect, and contribute to a tradition that continues to shape generations of Westover students.

  • Reunion Lantern Ceremony

    When we ask alums about their favorite Westover tradition, Lantern Ceremony is one of the most cherished. Welcoming new community members, celebrating the Senior class, singing traditional songs, and gathering at Seven Sisters—all are moments deeply woven into the Westover experience.
    At Reunion this year, alums will once again bring this sacred tradition to life—with a few nostalgic twists! Consider this your official invitation to join us. Bring walking shoes, long pants, and your Westover spirit.
    Prefer to observe? Seating will be available on Molder Field, where you’re welcome to take in the ceremony and join us for the closing rendition of the alma mater.
     

  • The Dillingham Society

  • The Westover Institute

    This year, Westover launched a new signature program: the Westover Institute. Offered over four weekends, the Institute gives students the chance to explore big questions and dive into topics beyond the traditional curriculum.

    Now, during Reunion Weekend, alums can experience it for themselves! On Saturday, June 7, join us for a special Westover Institute sampler. During two one-hour sessions, you’ll choose from a range of dynamic, thought-provoking offerings—each reflecting the curiosity and creativity that define the program.

    Session highlights include:
    • Life After Westover: A Conversation with Leilani Brown and Brena Mallory '75
    • Finding Your Voice: Taking the Panic Out of Public Speaking with Marla Truini P’09
    • Botany Walk in Westover Woods with Alice Hallaran
    • Richard Wilbur at Westover: A Poetry Reading and Recollections with Bruce Coffin and Chris Sweeney
    • Swiftology: The American Dream Through the Lens of Taylor Swift with Dr. Catherine Stines, Associate Head of School
    • Middle Eastern Dance Class with Cheryl Bell, Science Teacher
