Residence Life Reunion

 
Event Description 

Please join us for the Residence Life Reunion on Saturday, June 2!  Reconnect with other  Res-Life alumni as you walk down memory lane, touring the halls that you once called home. All residence halls will be open for tours, not to mention the weekend’s honorary birthday guest,
Ireland Hall.

The day’s festivities will include tours of the newest buildings on campus, the Anderson Athletic and Recreation Complex (opened in fall 2010) and the Anderson Student Center (opened in January 2012), as well as the O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library. To cap off the day, join other alumni and current students to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of Ireland Hall, with birthday cake included! There will be a Mass at 4:30 p.m. in the Chapel of St. Thomas Aquinas. Families are welcome and encouraged to attend. Want to spend the night on campus on Friday, June 1? Rooms in the newest student residence, Flynn Hall, will be available to stay in prior to Saturday’s reunion events. Start planning who will be your roommates!
