Autumn Alumni Reunions

We were delighted to welcome a number of groups back for alumni reunions over the last few weeks, September and October are always popular months for alumni reunions, with many groups choosing to come back to York St John on the anniversary of when they first enrolled as students.

At the end of September we were delighted to welcome a group celebrating 50 years since they first started at York St John in 1967, primarily former Chemistry and Heavy Crafts students, led by alumnus Peter Boyd.

The following weekend, we welcomed back a group who were meeting up 30 years after first started in 1987 let me alumna Jane Felstead. Most of the group were former residents at the Limes with Resident Tutor and fellow alumnus John Maw.

Both groups enjoyed a walk through the campus, which had noticeably changed since both groups were here as students, as well as spending some time looking through photos and artefacts of our Heritage room, even finding records of themselves and their peers in old White Rose magazines, and college photos.

More recently, we were delighted to again welcome back the 5 and a half club, who were celebrating their 56th consecutive annual reunion, having first graduated in 1961.

If you’re thinking of planning your own reunion, we’d love to hear from you! just get in touch by e-mailing us at Alumni@yorksj.ac.uk
