ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — More than 1,000 St. Bonaventure University alumni and friends of the university will reconnect with their campus and classmates this weekend, June 7-9, at the annual Alumni Reunion Weekend.
The three-day event recognizes classes going back in five-year increments, from the Class of 2014 to the class of 1954, with special recognition given members of the 50-year Class of 1969. Alumni from all classes, however, are welcome to attend the reunion.
“This is one of the first things that our alumni put on their personal calendars each year,” said Joe Flanagan, ’74, director of Alumni Services.
Friday’s opening day activities include class dinners at venues on and off campus, followed by a social for all classes at the campus Rathskeller.
Saturday is packed with events from morning till night, including open houses across campus, talks and presentations, and campus tours. University President Dr. Dennis R. DePerro will give a university update and take questions from alumni in a presentation at 11:15 a.m. in the main reading room of Friedsam Library.
The annual Alumni Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 5 p.m. Saturday in the University Chapel, which will be followed by an all-alumni social from 6 to 9 p.m. on Bob Lanier Court in Reilly Center Arena, where alumni will be introduced to this year’s alumni of the year.
The weekend concludes Sunday, June 9, with a breakfast in Hickey Dining Hall and a 10:30 a.m. Mass in the University Chapel.
