What a weekend! ❤️💙

Still smiling thinking about our Class of 2006 20th Reunion back on campus at Penn.

From partying in the Quad and late-night dancing under the lights, to Franklin Fest, parading down Locust Walk, spontaneous run-ins, old stories, new memories, and seeing friendships pick up exactly where they left off — this weekend reminded us all just how special this community is.

Together, we broke attendance records for a 20th reunion, with more than 400 classmates at our reunion party in the Quad featuring an unforgettable performance by Kenn Kweder. 🥂🎶

Thank you to everyone who traveled back to campus, shared photos, tagged us in memories, and helped make the weekend so meaningful. Watching this reel come together through all of your posts perfectly captures the spirit of the weekend: joy, nostalgia, connection, and Penn pride.

A huge thank you as well to the University of Pennsylvania and the Penn Alumni team for creating such an incredible Alumni Weekend experience for all of us.

And perhaps most importantly — thank you, Class of 2006, for showing up for Penn in such a major way. Together, our class contributed more than $6 million to the Penn Fund, helping support future generations of Quakers. That’s something truly worth celebrating.

Penn was never just four years.
Forever Penn. ❤️💙

Amazing weekend back on campus for our 20th(!) Reunion at Penn! ❤️💙 From partying in the Quad to late nights at Smokes, strolling Locust Walk & visiting Franklin Field, we went back to CAH-LEDGE in a big way this weekend! It was truly an honor to be a part of the incredible committee who helped bring this weekend to life with record attendance for a 20th reunion class! Over 400 people!! ‘06 continuing to crush it, as always!

I walked onto this campus having just turned 17, knowing only a handful of teammates & friends. My four years at Penn were absolutely pivotal in shaping who I am today, all a credit to the people I met along the way. It was so much fun to reconnect with so many friends & coaches I haven’t seen for years and get to introduce Zack to them as well!

Cheers to 20 years, class of 2006! Let’s run it all back again in 2031! Hoorah hoorah Pennsylvania! Hoorah for the Red & the Blue! ❤️💙

We knew how to clean up pretty well in college not gonna lie 💃🏼🕺🏽 Curious about the dress code for Saturday?

We’re callin it business casual, but honestly dress up or dress down as much as want. Whatever you feel the best in! Get ready for open bar, great food and an appearance by the legend himself, Ken Kweder.

We’ll have places to hang coats and to leave some light items. Plus the weather is tracking to be a beautiful spring night! 🙏😍

Tag any folks you recognize and want to see this weekend!

It’s #ThrowbackThursday, and we’re taking it all the way back to the era of burning CDs in the high-rises and pre-ordering the ‘Baby Book’ before we ever set foot on campus. 💿📖🔍

Class of 2006, the vault is officially open! To get us ready for our 20th Reunion on May 15-17, the Executive Committee has curated the ultimate ‘Class of 2006: The Time Capsule’ soundtrack.

We’ve pulled 20 tracks that defined our four years on Locust Walk—from the anthems of our freshman year in the Quad to the senior year hits that played at our final Spring Fling. Whether it was Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ (our graduation anthem!) or the absolute requirement of ‘Mr. Brightside’ at every party, these are the songs that still have us bleeding Red and Blue. 🔴🔵

🎧 TUNE IN TO THE TIME CAPSULE:

👇 TBT CHALLENGE:
Tag your freshman hall-mates and tell us: What was the one song you played on repeat in your dorm room? 🔔✨

The 20-year glow-up is just weeks away. If you haven’t locked in your plans, the time is now!

Class of ‘06, it’s time. Somehow 20 years have gone by since we were midnight screaming in the Quad, falling asleep in Van Pelt library, waiting in line for Bui’s, and marching with styrofoam hats down Walnut Walk.

What’s your favorite college memory?

Come join us for a weekend that is sure to be memorable.

Before there were Reels, Stories, or even a ‘Wall’... there was the Penn Baby Book. 📖🔍

Check out this 20-year-old ‘analog algorithm’ from the summer of 2002. From the Abercrombie polos to the over-plucked brows and the glamour shots, this was our first look at the Class of 2006.

Flip through to see if you can spot yourself (or your freshman roommate) in their 17-year-old glory!

🚨 The 20-year glow-up is officially happening May 15-17. Tag your freshman hall-mates in the comments and let’s see who is actually coming back to the 19104!
