ALUMNI WEEKEND 2025

Alumni Weekend offers opportunities to return to the place where lifelong friendships began, cherished traditions took root, and the blue and gold spirit brought us all together. Join us on campus this fall to reconnect with classmates, show your family around, meet Bombers from every generation, and celebrate all that makes Burroughs feel like home.

Come for the memories.
Stay for the moments.

Festivities will include an alumni art show, a cocktail party, a family picnic, and a Bomber football game. The weekend will also honor milestone reunions for classes ending in 0 or 5, including the Class of 1975’s 50th reunion and the Class of 2000’s 25th reunion.
