Hear Dr. Barry DiBernardo '80 lecture on lasers in cosmetic surgery. Join the brothers of Phi Delta Theta to mark their 125th year on campus. Or take a trolley tour of Schenectady.
These are just a few of the events awaiting an estimated 1,500 alumni, parents and friends who are expected to return to campus for Homecoming & Family Weekend beginning Friday, Oct. 17.
“We expect a wonderful fall weekend for the entire Union family. There will be something for everyone: sporting events, faculty presentations, receptions and dinners. This weekend reflects the spirit and pride of Union,” said Nick Famulare ’92, director of Alumni Relations.
The lectures, Greek milestone celebrations, trolley tours and award ceremonies are in addition to the staple Homecoming & Family Weekend: a 1 p.m. Saturday football game vs. St. Lawrence University.
