Annual Events

Much like the students’ calendar, the King’s alumni datebook is packed with annual events abundant in tradition, camaraderie and a desire to support a college we all remember and love.

Annual Events

Encaenia

The conferring of academic and honorary degrees takes place during Encaenia, a ceremony rooted in the traditions of Oxford. Encaenia is a Greek word meaning “beginning, commencement,” and the term has been used since the founding of King’s in 1789.

Annual Dinner

Since 1846, alumni and fellow members of the King's community have come together for an evening, highlighted with a delicious meal, that celebrates alumni achievement.

Golf Tournament

An annual tournament attended by Alumni and friends of the university in support of students in financial need at King’s.

Worldwide Alumni Celebration

Alumni in cities around the globe gather to celebrate their connection to King's and to each other.

Past Special Events

On 27-29 June 2014, over 500 guests, including three former presidents, past and present faculty, alumni from the 1940s to the present, and current students gathered on the quad to celebrate the anniversary with a weekend of festivities.
