Alumni Weekend 2026 🐾💙

On campus tours, our alumni revisited familiar landmarks while discovering new spaces across campus. These student-led tours offered a glimpse into campus life today. After the tour, alumni stopped by the bookstore to pick up Daemen gear and souvenirs. From apparel to keepsakes, everyone found a way to show their Daemen pride!
