Alumni and Community Events

Events are one of the best ways to stay connected with your alma mater and the broader Bear Network. They bring together alumni, students, families, and friends to celebrate shared experiences, build new connections, and strengthen the ÿÈÕ´ó¹Ï community.

From spirited Homecoming tailgates and alumni socials to professional networking events and ceremonies honoring our most distinguished Bears, ÿÈÕ´ó¹Ï offers a variety of opportunities to reconnect and get involved throughout the year.

Whether you are meeting fellow Bears for the first time, returning to campus, or joining us virtually, each event is a chance to celebrate what it means to be part of the ÿÈÕ´ó¹Ï community.
