Lots of Travel | Three more weeks of intense travel, then it gets easier. Our response time to tickets in the latter half of each week a hair slower than what you may be accustomed to. | Please bear with us, as this is (a) normal for this time of year, (b) us being fully present where we are, and (c) just a stop or two before it's your turn to have our primary attention. | Everything will be responded to and we look forward to celebrating with your campus community soon! | - Steve |

Going Back to Nassau Hall | Recap: Princeton Reunions | The one annual occasion when ALL the tiger print attire comes out of the closet and is worn without shame in broad daylight: welcome to Princeton Reunions. | This was our fifth - and also smoothest and biggest Reunions - event with Princeton yet. Partnerships with public safety, the alumni office, advancement services, and most crucially the Office of Information Technology (they're our wifi hookup!) delivered a fantastic Reunions experience for everybody. | By the numbers: - 25,869 registered, 23,222 attended
- That's roughly the population of the town I live in.
- +6% from last year
- 155,000 wristband scans. Scanny McScannerson got a heck of a workout! (see how fast it is!)
- 13,600 peak number of wristbands scanned in one hour across all venues
- 221 pieces of equipment deployed across 18 check in locations
- 1020 people checked in at the peak hour of 6pm Thursday
- 5 AlumnIQ staff on site to support it all
- 2 team trips to Mamoun's falafel because once wasn't enough
The way I describe this event is that the classes just happen to be throwing reunions at the same time on the same weekend - other than wristbands they operate almost entirely independent of one another. It's a massive, volunteer-driven, bespoke to each class, complex, and biologically evolved machine that somehow just works. If you ever have a desire to come see it, do. It's life-changing to see it in operation. | |
