Alumni & Friends: Class Reunions

The College of Pharmacy, in an effort to create a unique opportunity for its alumni to reconnect with the College and former classmates, has established two major reunion weekends! Both are held during the fall and are centered around Purdue Football. On Alumni Weekend the College will celebrate the 50th Class Reunion. The attendees will have the opportunity to participate in College reunion activities as well as university reunion activities. These activities include campus tours, a luncheon with the Dean, a 50th reunion dinner, back to class sessions and much more. The 2011 50th Reunion will celebrate the Class of 1961 and will be held on September 16th and 17th.

The Fall Reunion weekend celebrates the five, ten, fifteen and twenty-five year reunions from the College. Alumni have the opportunity to reconnect with classmates at a variety of activities including a tailgate before the game. The weekend holds opportunities to connect with former faculty, current faculty and students as well. The 2011 Fall Reunion weekend coincides with Homecoming and will be held on October 21st and 22nd.

In 2011 the College will also host a 35th Reunion Weekend honoring the Class of 1976 on November 11th and 12th.
