Calling all alumni to come celebrate Saturday, May 31, for Alumni Day 2025!
Start the day with the annual Alumni Brunch—catch up with old friends, make new ones and celebrate your peers as the Alumni Award recipients are honoured. Tour guides will be on hand to take you on a stroll down memory lane or book a spot on the tour through the “Treasure Room” at the King’s Library. The afternoon and evening will be filled with chances to meet up with your fellow alumni and share memories of good times at King’s. Organize your day–attend some, or all, the activities!
If you would like to stay in residence, there are rooms on King’s campus. Make sure you use the promo code ALUMNIDAY for a special discount.
If you have any questions about Alumni Day 2025, please contact Interim Alumni Relations Manager Candice MacDonald at candice.macdonald@ukings.ca.
