Anniversaries are worth celebrating!

As we look ahead to 2026, we're excited to celebrate milestone anniversaries with UM alumi whose grad years end in 6 or 1.

Reunions are a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with former classmates, reminisce about your time at UM, and rediscover the Bison spirit that makes our community so special. They bring together the memories, friendships, and shared experiences that made your UM years unforgettable, while offering a chance to create new traditions and leave a lasting legacy by supporting today’s students.

We’re here to help you reconnect, celebrate, and make an impact.

Organize your class or group reunion

Thinking about bringing your classmates, teammates, club members, or friends from your time at UM back together? Whether you want to celebrate during Homecoming, at another time or location, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

If you graduated in a year ending in 6 or 1, 2026 is an especially meaningful time to celebrate your milestone anniversary with a reunion.

How will UM help?

We can help make planning simple and fun by providing:

Promotion and outreach support (including class lists, survey and invitation templates, mailing support)
Event planning support (advice, venue and parking info, UM alumni discounts, catering and more)
Materials and supplies (souvenirs, campus maps, event signage)
Coordination with faculties, colleges and UM leadership
Coordination of campus tours and special experiences

The perfect time to reunite? Homecoming, of course!

Homecoming is UM's biggest alumni and friends celebration each September. By planning your reunion during Homecoming, your group can enjoy:

Distinguished Alumni Awards Celebration of Excellence Gala
Homecoming Concert at the Desautels Concert Hall
Bisons Block Party and Football Game
Faculty-specific activities

If Homecoming doesn't work for your group, we can support reunions at other times of year and different locations, too!

Not sure where to start? Follow these 5 easy steps:

✅ Form a small planning committee

Gather a few enthusiastic classmates to help share the work (and the fun).

✅ Survey classmates

Find out who's interested and what activities they'd enjoy.

✅ Choose a date and location

Homecoming is popular, but another time or location may work better for some groups.

✅ Plan your event(s)

From a simple meet-up to a full weekend of activities, we'll help you plan the right fit for your group.

✅ Spread the word and encourage RSVPs early

Whether online, by email or by mail, getting early replies makes planning easier.

Want to make your reunion even more meaningful?

Many reunion groups choose to mark their milestone reunions — like 10, 25, 40 or 50 years — by giving back to the place that brought them together. Whether it's creating a scholarship, supporting a special project, or contributing to an existing fund, your gift can help future students thrive at UM.

There's no pressure — just possibilities. And we're here to help every step of the way!
