Douglas Williams Scholarship Fencing Tournament


Douglas Williams was a 1964 Reed College graduate who continued his life long passion for fencing after leaving Reed. In 1998 Williams endowed a scholarship that would be awarded to financially deserving student fencers. The Annual Williams Scholarship Fencing Tournament is held each November. The $10,000 scholarship is shared by the top three tournament finishers eligible for financial aid. Non financial aid finishers are awarded hand-crafted gold, silver and bronze pins in the shape of fencing foils.

March Madness Basketball Tournament


Each spring Reed hosts its own version of March Madness. For one long evening students, faculty, staff and alums play in a single elimination basketball tournament. The play is fast, hard and fun! The teams are a combination of basketball players and wanna-bes who just love the game. For half time entertainment we host a half court shot contest, the winner takes home free pizza!!
