Concordia College will host its 35th annual Alumni Gathering later this week.

The gathering will last from June 19-21 and will allow alumni a chance to rekindle their old Concordia pride.

“It will be a reunion atmosphere so that alumni can get together to catch up with each other,” said Abby Campbell, director of public relations at Concordia.

Activities for the weekend include a meet and greet, a business meeting, a picnic on the campus lawn, a banquet and after party and also worship service at Christ Chapel. The class of 1965 will also celebrate their 50th reunion.

“Alumni will be able to reminisce,” said Minnie McMillan, director of alumni affairs. “Our foundation was laid here. We wouldn’t be where we are now without Concordia.”

All alumni, faculty and staff are welcome to attend and are also open to invite guests if they would like.

On-campus housing is available upon request for the gathering. Tickets must be purchased in order to attend the breakfast, picnic and banquet.

A full schedule of events can be found on the University’s website, www.CCAL.edu.
