Holiday & New Year Celebrations

It’s time to gather with your fellow alumni, family, and friends at our in-person Holiday and New Year Celebrations! We’re once again bringing the Rochester 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 2015-2024) and those celebrating their reunion year (class years ending in 4 and 9 for events in 2024 and class years ending in 0 and 5 for events in 2025).

Keep the party going by sharing your celebrations on social media, and use #URCelebrates in your public posts! Check back for more details as events are confirmed.
