Events

Join events that connect you with members of the SYA community.

No matter where you are, we're here. The Alumni Office is planning a series of learning opportunities to engage with faculty, alumni, parents and students. There'll be specific webinars to learn more about the Campaign for SYA, our first-ever comprehensive campaign. Are you in a class year that ends in 1 or 6? Consider hosting a virtual reunion. If you're not in a reunion year, schedule a class chat.

Is there a program or topic that you'd like to lead or participate in? Let us know !

Reunions & Meet Ups

Classes ending in 1 or 6 celebrate milestone reunions this year! A big shout out to ES'71 — our first class of coeducation — and FR'71 as they celebrate their 50th reunion, and to the classes of CN'96, ES'96 and FR'96 as they celebrate their 25th.

SYA is here to help but yours is needed to successfully plan a virtual gathering that is meaningful for your class.
With physical distancing guidelines and travel limitations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which vary state by state and are often changing, the health and safety of our SYA family is our primary concern. There will be no in-person events for the foreseeable future and we encourage classes to postpone physical reunions and take advantage of hosting a virtual celebration.

There's no better time to reconnect with old friends and reminisce about your time abroad. If you're interested in helping your class plan a virtual reunion, contact the Alumni Office and we'll help get you started.

Not in a reunion year but would enjoy reconnecting with classmates? We'll help you plan a virtual meet up.

Be in touch with the Alumni Office and we'll help get the party going!

EVENT FAQs

Can I bring a guest?

Why do some events have a registration fee?

SYA's budget supports many areas, including the day-to-day operations of our campuses. We offer an early registration discount to encourage you to register in a timely manner.

Most virtual events will have not cost. Charging a registration fee helps to offset expenses allowing more funds to be applied to operating the schools. We've also found that a registration fee greatly reduces the number of no shows at events, which also helps SYA's budget by more accurately forecasting the actual number of attendees for catering and venue costs.

SYA regrets that it is unable to process any refunds. In the event of a cancellation, we can designate your payment as a donation to the SYA Fund.
