Legacies — A Special Rensselaer Connection

On Nov. 7, more than 110 people attended a reception for current students who are "legacies" and their families at the Heffner Alumni House. A Rensselaer legacy is a student or alumnus who has a relative that is an alumnus of Rensselaer — parent, aunt or uncle, sibling, etc. The number of legacy students is growing each year, as alumni recognize the value a Rensselaer education has for their children. Upcoming programs for legacies include a hockey game and receptions during Family Weekend, Commencement, and Reunion. If you are a Rensselaer legacy, we'd like to make sure you are on the database. Send your name, class year, address, and a list of other family members who attended Rensselaer to Susan Haight at haighs@rpi.edu or call (518) 276-6042.
