Join us for Alumni Day — a full day of activities celebrating our community, from morning campus tours and class visits to afternoon social gatherings and an awards ceremony honoring distinguished alumni.
October 20, 2025
The day will include campus tours, seminar visits, and plenty of time to connect at social gatherings. The Art & Design Library will be open throughout the day for drop-in visits with faculty, students, and our alumni guests. At noon, join fellow art historians in the reserved private dining room at the Suwannee Dining Hall. At 4:30pm we’ll gather in WJB G40 for special presentations and conversations with this year’s distinguished Alumni Award honorees:
