Schedule of Events

Friday, June 5 - Sunday, June 7, 2020

Due to ongoing public health concerns surrounding the coronavirus, Alumni Weekend 2020 will not take place. Instead, we will combine our celebration of this year’s and next year’s major reunions during Alumni Weekend 2021! In the meantime, we are formulating plans to celebrate all Blair alumni in a special way on Peddie Day 2020, Saturday, November 7, at Blair. Details will soon be on the way!
