The ��ϲ��’s annual spring Alumni Reunion returns May 25 to 29, with more than 75 ways for alumni to catch up with old friends, exchange ideas and create new experiences – back where it all began.

Held virtually in 2021, this year marks Alumni Relations’ first large-scale foray into delivering a hybrid version of ��ϲ��’s premier alumni gathering, mixing in-person and virtual activities and events.

From meetups and lectures to tours of the St. George campus and fun activities for kids, the reunion promises to bring together thousands of alumni in person while reaching an extended global community of grads online.

“We’re pleased to extend the reach of Alumni Reunion,” says Barbara Dick, assistant vice-president, alumni relations.

“In-person events will be complemented by an array of online events, making the reunion experience available to all alumni, wherever they’re located. We are delighted by the enthusiastic response from our alumni community.”

Here’s a taste of some :

The astronaut, neurologist, environmentalist and photographer will share a glimpse of planet Earth through her unique perspective, helping to uncover what it means to be human. The ��ϲ�� Alumni Association’s annual general meeting will follow Bondar’s presentation.
