This year’s alumni weekend already has people talking.

We’re so excited about this year’s Alumni Weekend that we’ve moved it up a month, to September. Last year, 5,000 BU alumni returned for Alumni Weekend, and we’re expecting even more this year. The University has parties, class reunions, talks, campus tours, and special events planned Friday, September 21 through Sunday, September 23, with School of Management events on Friday and Saturday, September 21 and 22.

Here’s just a taste of why this is one Alumni Weekend you don’t want to miss.

University-wide programming highlights:

  • An extraordinary Celebration of BU on Saturday night is sure to be the highlight of Alumni Weekend. Enjoy performances by Keith Lockhart (Hon.’04) and the Boston Pops Orchestra, and celebrity alumni appearances in a completely transformed Agganis Arena. Guaranteed to be an extravaganza unlike anything seen before at BU.
  • A Taste of BU. Grab your friends and family and come outside to enjoy BU! Join us for New England fare and enjoy entertainment on the BU Beach.
  • Hot topic panel discussions. Join BU experts for lively debates about today’s most pressing issues.
  • Farewell Jazz Brunch. Enjoy one last hurrah (and some incredible live jazz) before you depart campus at the brand-new Center for Student Services.
