Out & About

Aiming to deepen relationships with alumni around the globe is what prompts UCalgary Alumni to host events that honour our successful grads. Do you recognize any classmates in these photos?

Whether they are recent alumni who attend a Learn, Laugh, Lead program or graduates in far-flung places who come out for an Idea Exchange event, we want to thank you for taking the time. And remember, Alumni Weekend runs from Sept. 22-24 this year. Hope to see you there!
