Reunion 2026 – Good to See You Again!

Saturday, November 7, 2026

It’s time to come back to Beacon Street! We are thrilled to invite you to the New England College of Optometry’s Annual Alumni Reunion. Whether it’s been five years or fifty since you last walked our halls, this day is designed to celebrate our shared history and look toward NECO’s exciting future.

This year, we are celebrating classes ending in 1 or 6. Check this list to see if you’re celebrating a milestone: 1951, 1956, 1961, 1966, 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, 2021, and 2025.

The Day’s Agenda

Registration & Light Breakfast: Start the day with coffee and reconnect with friends.
Welcoming Remarks: An update on the vision for NECO’s future.
Continuing Education: Sessions led by distinguished alumni speakers.
Alumni Lunch: Plenty of time to swap stories and catch up.

We can’t wait to welcome you back to Beacon Street in November!
