When will I get more information about Reunions?
The reunion website will be updated with additional information (hotel blocks, weekend schedule, FAQs, etc.) throughout the spring, and registration will open in April. From April through June 2024, alumni celebrating a reunion in 2024 will receive various printed and digital marketing materials from the Marquette University Alumni Association regarding their reunion.
How do I register for events?
Online registration will open in April. You may also call the Alumni Association at (800) 344-7544 to register.
Who is invited to Reunions 2024?
This year’s reunion will be celebrating undergraduate class years ending in a 4 or 9, our First Reunion (Class of 2023), the Educational Opportunity Program’s 55th Anniversary and the Hispanic Alumni Association’s 5th Anniversary. However, all alumni are welcome to attend Alumni Reunion Weekend.
How will I know which of my classmates are attending?
Everyone who registers within approximately one week prior to Alumni Reunion Weekend will have their names posted on the reunion website in May. At that time, you may visit your class page to view the "Who's Coming" list.
Where can I stay?
The Marquette University Alumni Association has arranged for hotel room blocks at a select number of downtown Milwaukee hotels for Alumni Reunion Weekend 2024. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer lodging in Marquette’s residence halls this year. See our accommodations page for further information.
What should I wear?
Wear what is comfortable, and remember, you can’t go wrong with blue and gold! Some events will be held outdoors, rain or shine, so consider packing rain gear as a precaution. Attire tends to be dressy casual for evening events like Marquee Night, while attire for daytime events like the Block party are more casual and often includes Marquette spirit wear.
Where should I go if I need assistance?
University volunteers and staff will be available at Alumni Reunion Weekend Headquarters in the Alumni Memorial Union on the second floor. They will be able to answer questions and address any needs that may arise. Please do not hesitate to stop by with questions or just to say hello.
Friday, May 31 | 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
