Black Alumni weekend to kick off Alumni Week

Black Alumni Weekend offers an opportunity for alumni to reconnect and celebrate with a series of events focused on networking, sharing memories, and revisiting their university days.

The weekend begins with the Black in Black II Reception, a networking mixer at the Alumni Auditorium in the CAW Student Centre on Friday, Sept. 20, from 6:30 to 10 p.m.

On Saturday, Sept. 21, former Lancers can explore the campus with a self-directed tour, visiting their former classrooms, study spots, and hangout areas to friends and family at any time.

The day will also feature Black to the Future II, a panel discussion and mini-summit highlighting the Black Studies program, Black Scholars Institute, Black Student Support Services, scholarships, and more. The discussion, moderated by Black student support co-ordinator Kaitlyn Ellsworth, will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in room 104, Odette Building.

At Alumni Stadium, fans can cheer on the undefeated Lancers as they face the Ottawa Gee-Gees on Saturday. A tailgate party at 3 p.m. will precede the game, which starts at 4 p.m. UWindsor graduates with valid ID can purchase tickets for $10, and the first 1,000 attendees will receive a gift from the Alumni Association.

Later that evening, alumni can join the party with the theme of Old School/New School taking place in the CAW Student Centre starting at 8 p.m.

The weekend will conclude with a Sunday service at Sandwich First Baptist Church from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
