Reunions and Class Programs
Whether you are about to graduate, or you completed your college experience fifty years ago, the Alumni Relations Office hosts a variety of events and activities for classmates to socialize and reconnect. Reunions are a time for celebration at North Park. They provide an opportunity to remember the North Park experience, to reconnect with the larger North Park family, and to reunite with old friends. These events are great opportunities to return to campus and visit with classmates, faculty members and friends!
Reunion activities include all former students who attended North Park University (including the Academy, Junior College, College or Seminary). Regardless of whether you graduated, you are welcome to attend. Spouses and guests of alums are also invited to join us as part of the growing North Park community.
Come back to campus to experience North Park University today, and reminisce about North Park of yesterday. Here are some of our programs:
Senior Week
In the week leading up to graduation, the Office Alumni collaborates with Seniors on an exciting week of activities and events. In the midst of finals and job interviews, take time out to get together with classmates before embarking on the next step of your life journey. See the schedule of activities.
Homecoming Week
Every Fall, North Park University hosts the annual Homecoming festivities. Homecoming is a time for all North Parkers to celebrate, including alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends. Visit the Homecoming website to learn about the history of the event, view photos and see dates for future years.
5th Year Reunions
Every year at Homecoming, classes that are celebrating a 5th year milestone anniversary are invited to gather as a class. At Homecoming, a reunion breakfast is held on Saturday morning. In addition to all of the other Homecoming festivities, many classes will set-up their own get-togethers to socialize more over the weekend. Call 773.244.5273 or e-mail us to publicize any extra class events you are scheduling.
50 Year Class Reunions
Upon reaching your 50th year class reunion, North Park hosts a special Golden Circle celebration. The alumni of the 50-Year Class are invited to come back at graduation to participate in the Commencement ceremonies. Visit the Golden Circle website to learn more about your class reunion.
