Return to Evergreen

Return to Evergreen 2026
Saturday, August 29 in Olympia, WA

There's never been a better time to come back.

Join fellow Greeners for a fun, family-friendly summer celebration at one of the most beautiful times of the year. Wander campus trails, reconnect with old friends, discover what's new, and experience the creativity, curiosity, and community that make Evergreen unlike anywhere else.

Whether you're returning after a few years or a few decades, Return to Evergreen is your chance to rediscover the people, places, and experiences that made Evergreen unforgettable—and create new memories along the way.

All alumni—every class, every path—are invited.

This summer, return to the community, curiosity, and lifelong learning that make Evergreen unlike anywhere else.

We've traded cool, crisp autumn leaves for warm, sunny summer days, but the spirit of Return to Evergreen remains the same. Join fellow Greeners for thought-provoking seminars, hands-on workshops, and opportunities to reconnect with like-minded peers. Explore new perspectives and celebrate all things alumni at Evergreen.
