This event, including the dinner, is free for alumni whose matriculation years end in 2 and 7. Guests and alumni of other matriculation years will be charged for dinner only.
Every September, Wolfson's Alumni Reunion is the highlight of our events calendar; we love nothing better than welcoming you back to College and seeing old friends catch up over our Reunion Dinner. This year's weekend reunion is scheduled for Saturday 17 September.
The reunion will be a superb opportunity to reconnect with your former classmates. This year, we are warmly inviting our alumni whose matriculation years end in 2 and 7: 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017.
We will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of the death of Earnest Shackleton and 65 years since Vivian Fuchs [Hon Fellow] began his Trans-Antarctic expedition.
