Syracuse University will welcome the reunion classes of 1941, 1946, 1951, 1956 and 1961 back to campus Sept. 9-11 for Senior Alumni Weekend. Reunion classes will have opportunities to reminisce with classmates, talk with current students, enjoy academic programs and special reunion events, tour campus and attend a football game in the Dome.

seniorweekendThe Goldstein Alumni and Faculty Center is Senior Alumni Weekend headquarters, and SU’s Office of Alumni Relations online has all the important details and highlights of the weekend.

In addition to strolling around campus to visit both familiar and new places, alumni can take a one-hour campus tour in the comfort of a shuttle bus. Tours depart from the Goldstein Alumni and Faculty Center during the weekend and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, alumni can tour the campus’s art history with David Prince ’83, curator of the University Art Collection. The walking tour departs from the Shaffer Art Building at 1 p.m. on Friday and concludes at the Goldstein Alumni and Faculty Center at approximately 3 p.m.

Dinners, luncheons and receptions present great mixing opportunities with classmates and friends. The Class of 1961 celebrates 50 years with the Golden Anniversary Dinner on Friday evening in the Milton Atrium in the Life Sciences Complex. The Melvin A. Eggers Senior Alumni Award Dinner at Drumlins Country Club is open to all alumni who have already celebrated their 50th reunion, especially those from the classes of 1941, 1946, 1951 and 1956 (for registration details, contact the Office of Alumni Relations at (315) 443-3258 or e-mail sualumni@syr.edu). Congratulations to this year’s Melvin A. Eggers Senior Alumni Award recipients—Edward S. Miller ’51 and Kenneth Sparks ’56, G’61, G’64.

Additionally, alumni can attend many game-day festivities around campus and on the Kenneth A. Shaw Quad prior to the kickoff of the SU/Rhode Island football game, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at the Carrier Dome.
