Solar Eclipse Gathering
Join members of the Reed community to experience the first total solar eclipse touching the continental United States since 1979!
Date: Monday, August 21
Location: Rugby field
Time: from 9 to 11 a.m. The partial eclipse begins in Portland at 9:06 a.m., the maximum eclipse will be at 10:19 a.m. (99% in Portland).
Special viewing glasses and food will be provided. We recommend you read in advance how to view the eclipse safely.
Sponsored by Residence Life and the president's office (these offices—along with the student center and Prexy—have glasses on hand currently, while supplies last!).
