NOLS Alumni Reunions in the time of COVID-19 As with communities around the world, we canceled our recent alumni reunion plans to protect our people and neighborhoods. We’re hopeful future on-site reunions and alumni gatherings will occur soon, but we don’t know when. In the meantime, to connect, network, learn, and entertain, we’re teeing up a series of interactive Zoom calls. Watch NOLS’ social networks, emails, eNewsletters, and the alumni reunion webpage for more details and topics. We hope to virtually see you soon! Thanks for standing with NOLS.

Llamas carry some of the weight, but mountain backpacking is challenging.
