Welcome to Reed! Here, intellectual curiosity is not only encouraged—it’s expected. As you begin this journey, you’ll find community not just in classrooms and conference discussions, but in residence halls, the Commons, and conversations on the Great Lawn. Our time together will invite you to explore Reed’s values, traditions, and shared commitments, while forging connections that challenge and sustain you. This is the start of a four-year experience rooted in critical inquiry, personal growth, and collective engagement. Welcome to the community shaped by Amanda Reed’s enduring vision—where ideas flourish, and so do you. This is a required session.
