Open Days

Connect with Reed’s Science Faculty

Open Days is a one-day event, jointly organized by Special Programs and Science Outreach, geared toward connecting Reed College's biology, chemistry, and physics departments to the greater Portland community.

Open Days visitors will have the opportunity to interact with Reed’s science departments, explore Reed’s campus, engage with science faculty and staff, and participate in lab experiments.

We invite you to our campus to explore the sciences on Saturday, November 4, 2023!
