Holiday & New Year Celebrations

This year, as we celebrate the holidays together, we also celebrate 175 years of Rochester spirit, innovation, and community. We’re once again bringing the URochester community together, in cities across the globe, to share in the spirit of the season.

Special early bird pricing for each event is available for young alumni (class years 2016-2025) and those celebrating their reunion year (class years ending in 5 and 0 for events in 2025 and class years ending in 1 and 6 for events in 2026).

Keep the party going by sharing your celebrations on social media, and tag @URochesterAlumni on Instagram! Check back for more details as events are confirmed.
