Boston University Alumni Weekend 2026

What moments from your BU days stick with you—the thrill of a new semester, a quick coffee at the GSU, a pint at the pub, bumping into a friend on the BUS, or a sunny pause between classes on the beach?

Come back for Alumni Weekend to relive those memories, reconnect with classmates, and see how campus has grown. Whether you graduated last year or decades ago, there's something unmistakably yours about walking Comm Ave. again. Catch up with old friends at a casual reception, discover what’s new in your old department, celebrate achievements at alumni awards ceremonies, or simply wander campus and let the memories return.

This weekend is about celebrating the community that made BU your home. From class reunions and campus tours to family-friendly activities and trivia that’s maybe a little too competitive, there’s so much to see, do, and rediscover.

Alumni Weekend is waiting—join us this fall and make it yours.
