The Bishop’s University Advancement Office typically hosts class reunions throughout Homecoming weekend for Bishop’s graduates. These reunions provide alumni with the opportunity to gather and celebrate while partaking in events and activities planned on and around campus. 

If you have any questions regarding reunion weekends, please contact Sterling Mawhinney ‘88, Alumni Relations Coordinator at 819-822-9660 or smawhinn@ubishops.ca
