Reunion is a special time when Knox alumni come together to celebrate and reminisce about their time at Knox. Making a gift to the College in a Reunion year has a profound impact on students, faculty, and our entire community.
Giving to the Knox Fund provides unrestricted support that opens doors, sparks innovation, and creates life-changing opportunities. Your gift directly impacts every aspect of the Knox student and faculty experience. Philanthropy propels us forward, and alumni are leading the way.
Priority Funding Areas:
Every gift counts toward your class giving total. There are multiple ways to make your gift. If you would like to talk about your giving interests, contact the Advancement Office at 309-341-7233 or gifts@knox.edu
As a Reunion volunteer, you have the opportunity to help plan special events for your class, encourage your peers to come back to campus, and lead by supporting your class gift. Here are your current Reunion chairs and committees. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, contact the Office of College Engagement at engage@knox.edu or 309-341-7238.
Reunion classes ending in 5s and 0s are celebrating October 9–12, 2025. Would you like to plan something for your class? Email at engage@knox.edu.
