Niagara College is ready to welcome alumni back to campus for an action-packed reunion.
ReuKnighted ’24 – open to all NC alumni and friends – will be held on Saturday, Nov. 2 at the Welland Campus.
Organized by the College’s Alumni Relations and Athletics teams, the event promises to be a day of family-friendly fun.
Guests can take in varsity Knights basketball and volleyball games at the Simplii Financial Athletic Centre, along with an alumni indoor tailgate party, VIP access to The Core, and a dedicated 'kids' zone' for younger Knights fans.
“We look forward to reconnecting with our alumni community and friends at ReuKnighted ’24,” said Jana Boniferro, Director, Alumni Relations. “We are thrilled by the response from our alumni community this year. We have some of our College’s Alumni of Excellence honorees joining us, as well as some of our guests who will be marking their 50-year reunion since graduating!”
Those who attend ReuKnighted '24 will have a rare opportunity to own a piece of Knights' history. About 40 old team bench chairs bearing the former Knights logo will be available for purchase at the event.
