The day you walk down College Hill in your gown is not the end of your AB story; it's the start of the longest chapter. Our Office of Alumni Relations exists to help you stay connected — to your classmates, to your professors, to the place that shaped you, and to the next generation of Battlers who will inherit it.
Whether you graduated in 1965 or 2024, you have access to BattlerConnect (our online alumni community), regional chapter events in 18 cities, the every-five-years milestone reunion, lifelong career services, and the simple knowledge that the bell of Whitescarver Hall will still be ringing the next time you visit.
Twice a year — Homecoming Weekend in October and Alumni Weekend in May — we open campus to returning Battlers from every era. Tents fill the quad. Old friends find each other. Coaches from the 1980s sit beside players from the 2020s. The Crim Dining Commons stays open late. And inevitably, somebody starts singing the AB Alma Mater, and somebody else picks it up, and the air on College Hill carries it all the way to the covered bridge.
