Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. | Council Building Humanities Alumni Gathering
You’re Invited: Reconnect, Reflect, and Reimagine. Once you walked our halls, immersed in the disciplines that shape our collective human experience. You sat in seminars, debated timeless ideas, and learned to see the world through a lens of empathy and critical thought. Since graduation, you have taken those invaluable insights out into the world, weaving them into diverse careers, vibrant communities, and meaningful lives. Now, we invite you to return to your college home in the Council Building, where you can reconnect with friends, professors, and students who understand the lasting impact of a liberal arts education and, more importantly, to celebrate you—the individuals who carry this legacy forward. All alumni of the Division of Humanities are welcome: English, Philosophy, World Languages, Interdisciplinary Humanities, and Communications. We can't wait to see you!
