Are you a Newman University alumni looking to reconnect with old classmates and support the athletics department? If so, mark your calendars for the upcoming Alumni Weekend! This annual event is a great opportunity to come back to campus, participate in fun activities, and show your support for current student athletes.

The Newman University Athletics Department has put together an exciting lineup of events for Alumni Weekend, including golf tournaments, a pickleball tournament, and a tailgating event. These activities are designed to bring alumni together, foster a sense of community, and create lasting connections with current students.

Director of Athletics Joanna Pryor and Associate Athletics Director Maureen Rohleder both emphasize the importance of alumni support for the success of the athletic programs. By participating in Alumni Weekend and engaging in the various activities, alumni can show their support and help create a positive environment for student athletes.
