Reunion Weekend 2008 will be one to go down in Alfred history. The weekend began with the return of the traditional St. Patrick's parade, the first to traverse Main Street in twenty-two years! As we honored our 50th year Class of 1958, they set an attendance record as a returning class with 58 members back in Alfred. They certainly raised the bar for our future honored reunion classes!

As the pace slows a bit for the summer, we look back on a wonderful weekend when 500 alumni and friends of the university returned to Alfred. We also look ahead to upcoming events, the fall semester, and planning for Reunion 2009. Be sure to check out the event calendar for important dates to make note of.

Summer weather has arrived in Alfred, and the campus looks beautiful. If your summer travels bring you near, be sure to take time to swing through Alfred and stop in the Welcome Center for a visit. We hope to see you soon.
