The full schedule for Alumni Weekend 2016 is nearly complete (look for it online soon), but here are a few things you can be sure to look forward to this fall (Sept. 22-25):
- Reunions - Celebrate with undergrad classes ('61, '66, '71, '76, '81, '86, '91, '96, '01, '06, '11), special affinity groups, like the 30th anniversary of The Bistro, and more!
- Homecoming - Cheer on the Bearcats at sporting events, and attend a special banquet at the Athletics Hall of Fame.
- Alumni in the Classroom - Audit classes with current students and join alumni, students and faculty for special panels and presentations.
- Bearcats United - Party with alumni and classmates at the annual Bearcat Bash, Jazzy Happy Hour, Beer and Wine Fest, and many other social gatherings.
- ...And much more! Stay tuned!
The gorgeous combination of colors and the rare opportunity to bask in the glow of the breathtaking Northern Lights make fall the perfect time of year to visit the already beautiful Norwegian fjords. Join alumni for an incredible 11-night cruise at an equally incredible price.
