June 1 – June 3, 2023
Reunion Weekend is an opportunity to add new memories to those you’ve shared and celebrated throughout your years as members of the Johns Hopkins Nurses’ Alumni Association (JHNAA) and Church Home and Hospital Alumni Association (CHH). Join classmates, fellow alumni, students, faculty and staff as we celebrate your reunion.
All alumni are welcome to attend! Especially those celebrating milestone reunions this year and those that were not able to celebrate their milestone reunion in 2020, 2021, or 2022. This year, we will be honoring our jubilarians – the Class of 1973, marking the end of the diploma era at the School of Nursing.
We will be announcing the finalized schedule shortly, but you can be sure this weekend will be filled with special events, fun activities and most importantly – fond memories. Thursday will be highlighted by a Cocktails and Conversations event with alumni, students, faculty and friends. Friday will feature panel discussions, tours and class dinners. On Saturday, formal JHSON Reunion programming will conclude with an awards brunch in which the 50th reunion class will be presented with their medallions and alumni award recipients celebrated.
We hope to see you in June! Please feel free to reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
