IU Alumni Weekends Bring Hundreds of Former Students to IUPUI

 More than 825 alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends participated recently in IU Alumni weekend reunions at IUPUI, with some alumni travelling as far away as Hawaii, Texas, California, Maryland, Arizona, and Florida to visit campus.
IU Law-Indianapolis and the Schools of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Medicine, and Nursing held the alumni events.

“With IUPUI celebrating its 40th anniversary, it was wonderful to welcome home so many alumni who were here before IUPUI was an official campus – some were even celebrating their 60th and 65th class reunions,” said Danny Kibble, director of alumni programs.
“We were proud to show our returning alumni how far this campus has advanced in regards to new buildings and enrollment. I know many were shocked when they heard there are 30,000 students on this campus.”

Each school and their alumni association recognized their annual distinguished alumni award recipients, hosted lectures by faculty members, and provided opportunities for our returning alumni to interact and converse with current IUPUI students. Several Campus and new facility tours highlighted the weekend, including tours of Fairbanks Hall, the Jean Johnson Schaefer Resource Center for Innovation in Clinical Nursing Education, Campus Center, HITS Building, PT Lab at Coleman Hall and downtown Indianapolis.
