Were you here for Family and Friends Weekend? 😍

Did you check out the Patio at Wells? This new space is a perfect compliment to our Conference Center on the second floor and a delicious accent to Wells Central Pub on the first floor (pizza anyone?).

So pull up a barstool or a chair around the fire pit and join us for a stein. 🍻❤️‍🔥

Each year, Senior Reunion is a time to reflect, reconnect and rejoice in seeing old friends, meeting new ones and returning to the College of our Hearts Always. From our own catering department's awesome spreads in our beautiful venues to your own unique spins on tradition, we're delighted to see what you are up to!

Tomorrow and Friday, we welcome home another amazing group of alumni for their senior reunion on a landmark year. Whether we are the ones managing your events or saying hi to you in passing, we're glad that you come home. There's always a place here for you.

By the way — make sure you check out University Bookstore's pop up shop at the Buchanan Alumni House Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m.–4 p.m. — or stop over to their store in Memorial Union. We hear there are some awesome deals!
