Friday, June 3 kicked off the first on-campus Reunion Weekend in three years — and it was one for the record books! Perhaps it was the weather, the fact we were COVID-free, or simply that Siena magic. Regardless, several alumni said, “It was the best Reunion Weekend in recent memory!” From All Alumni Golf on Friday morning, to fireworks under the stars Saturday evening, to the beautiful Alumni Mass in the Grotto on Sunday, nearly 700 alumni came home to Siena in celebration of what it means to be a Saint.
All Alumni Golf Friday, June 3
Alumni and friends gathered at Briar Creek Golf Course, owned by Siena’s own Jack Sise ’75, for the 18-hole scramble-format. Food, fun, and raffles ruled the day as tee signs proclaimed alumni and sponsor messages of welcome.
Franks and Friars Friday, June 3
What could be more fun than a hot dog picnic with our beloved Friars? Franks and Friars has become a popular tradition with both our students and alumni. Reminiscing about our Siena experiences to good music, food, and conversation on one of Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 50 Most Beautiful College Campuses is a wonderful way to spend the day!
The Class of ’82 Welcome Home Cocktail Reception Friday, June 3
Nearly 100 Siena sons and daughters of the Class of 1982 gathered to reminisce about their Siena days. A rousing verse of, “Put on Your Old Green Bonnet” got the party going.
The Class of 1972 50th Reunion Celebration Friday, June 3
A beautifully intimate dinner with President Gibson marked the 50th Reunion Year for the Class of 1972. With stories of the old library and Quonset huts to prayers for dearly departed classmates, this celebration of our Class of 1972 will not soon be forgotten. 26
