Events
Each year, Hampshire alums and families gather at dozens of events across the country organized with the support of alum volunteers. Events range from cocktail parties with the President of Hampshire College to museum visits, networking receptions, Alumni Reel screenings, and more. Attending a regional event is a great opportunity to connect with the Hampshire community in your area and hear news from the College. We hope you’ll join us at our next event!

Kern Center, a 17,000-square-foot building constructed of mostly local and entirely non-toxic materials designed to achieve Living Building Challenge certification by generating its own energy, harvesting its own water, and treating its own waste. We celebrated with a symposium, hands-on workshops, and had ample connections and camaraderie while we explored what buildings can do to enhance the quality of human life with the smallest possible negative impact on our environment.
