Virtual Alumni Weekend 2021

MX Celebrates First Cluster Reunion – Online!
June 11 – 12, 2021

Last year, the pandemic forced us to cancel our 2020 in-person Alumni Weekend, leaving us little time to prepare – or know how to prepare – for a virtual reunion as a replacement.  Well, we’ve learned a thing or two over the last year, and we are excited to ask that members of our Old Guard, and alumni from all graduating classes ending in a ‘0, ‘1, ‘5, or ‘6 to reserve the weekend of June 11 and 12, 2021 for a Virtual Reunion!

These are unusual times for sure, but with some modifications to our normal programming, we are optimistic that we can provide all of our alumni with a unique and impactful weekend.

Highlights for this weekend include our very own Steve Carell ‘80, on hand to accept the Distinguished Alumni Award, and a well-deserved tribute to our Middlesex Black Pioneers, marking 50 years since our first black graduates.
