Plan to come home for Alumni Weekend!
Attention, Dunn alumni — especially for the milestone reunions (the classes ending in the years 0 and 5) — register today for Alumni Weekend, June 6-8, 2025! Join us for a joyous reunion on our beautiful Los Olivos campus filled with laughter, shared memories, and exciting events.
Here's a taste of what you can expect:
Friday, June 6:
- Kick off the festivities with a casual dinner and drinks at the Firestone Walker Brewery Taproom in Buellton. Mingle with old friends, raise a glass to cherished memories, and get ready for a weekend of fun!
Saturday, June 7:
-
Afternoon — Be shuttled to Solvang for wine tasting at Fidi Flores ’10 winery for a guided tasting of his Esfuerzo Wines. Fidi was recently featured in Wine Enthusiast's “10 of America’s Most Influential Latinx-Owned Wineries."
-
Evening — Celebrate your Dunn pride at a festive Alumni Dinner open to all classes. Reconnect, share stories and enjoy delicious food and company.

2020 Prom-redo -- Help the Class of 2020 reclaim their “lost prom” due to the Covid pandemic. All alumni are invited to join in the fun on Saturday night.
Sunday, June 9:
-
Celebrate the remarkable Dunn careers of Willy and Barbara Haig as they embark on retirement! Join us as we reunite to honor their enduring legacy, share favorite Haig moments, recite Willy’s legendary math jokes, and admire Barbara’s signature spunk. Let’s raise a glass to Dunn’s beloved Scottish family and send them off in style.
-
You'll also learn about the Haig Endowment, which supports upgrades to their home, renovating Barbara’s office area, funding for experiential initiatives, and a special parting gift to help make their dream road trip across America a reality

Immerse yourself in the Alumni Weekend experience—stay on campus and be at the center of all the action!
Since you graduated, the once-sleepy Santa Ynez Valley has transformed into a bustling vacation hotspot. However, local hotel rates have soared, with weekend nights costing $400 to $500.
We would be thrilled to host alumni on campus and hope you'll join your classmates in the dorms for a nostalgic experience. Rest assured, we'll provide all the necessary bedding to make your stay comfortable.
While we can’t replicate the luxury of a hotel, staying at Dunn offers an experience that’s easier, more cost-effective, and far more fun. It’s easier because most Alumni Weekend events take place right here on campus, eliminating the hassle of commuting. It’s more cost-effective, given the steep prices of local hotels. Plus, Dunn will provide complimentary meals, including breakfast on both Saturday and Sunday, as well as lunch on Saturday. Most importantly, it’s more fun—you’ll have more time to reconnect and create new memories with your classmates from your Dunn days.
We are offering rooms at $100 per night. If you’d like to share a double room with a partner, spouse, or even an old roommate, let us know, and we’ll make the arrangements. We’ve also received several requests for alumni to stay in their old dorm rooms, which we’re happy to accommodate whenever possible.
Don't Take Our Word For It
“Alumni Weekend was like an actual time machine. I stayed in the same dorm room with my roommate that I had at school. I brushed my teeth in the same mirror I did when I was a teenager, this time 25 years older. For those three days, it was as if we were living in the 90s: walking to Panino’s for a sandwich we were sitting and chatting over breakfast in the dining hall, throwing the discus down at the track field, and doing headstand contests with my classmates. Laughing in the dorm beds with old friends will never get old.”
— Heather Banta Callow, Class of 1999
