Hi Bob – We don’t have the registration for the weekend up yet, but we will probably sometime in August. Registration will be through RPI’s Reunion & Homecoming website. If you haven’t done so already, be sure to make your hotel reservation at the Hilton Garden Inn or Holiday Inn Express in Latham as there are only a few rooms left under those blocks. You can visit the 75th site for more information about hotels – http://ehzlxa.com/75years-2/celebration-weekend/
