Reunion

Reunion 2023: July 28 – 30!
Paul Smith’s College Alumni may have different backgrounds, careers, and memories of their college days. But there is one thing alums all have in common…their love for PSC!

While all alumni are invited to attend Reunion each year, we are extra excited this summer to welcome those with class years ending in 3’s & 8’s.

During Reunion 2023 not only will we be celebrating everything Smitty, we are also celebrating the 35th Anniversary of the Alumni Campground.

Whether you prefer a tent, lean-to or the comfort of a room on campus, we look forward to welcoming you to your home away from home.  Happy Camping!
