Everything You Need at Penn Vet Alumni Weekend

Penn Vet Alumni Weekend

Coronavirus/COVID-19 Update

As Penn continues to monitor the coronavirus pandemic, the University has decided to pause the planning process for all new in-person, on-campus alumni events and programs not already scheduled for the fall of 2020. As the timeline for recovery is still unknown and undefined, it is prudent to delay the planning for all new events until the national and international situation is more certain to be resolved.

Please visit our events calendar for any upcoming virtual events or opportunities.

Please contact Penn Vet Alumni Relations at grovessh@vet.upenn.edu or bscan@vet.upenn.edu at any time with questions.
For updates visit the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information and Resources website.

Alumni Weekend

Alumni Weekend events take place on both campuses and will include campus tours, an alumni reception with the Dean, the Jubilee Luncheon for 50th+ reunions, and more!

All alumni are welcome, and classes celebrating a milestone reunion are encouraged to come back and reconnect!

Information will be updated throughout the year, so please make sure to check back frequently for more details about this celebratory event. Contact Alumni Relations with any questions.

We look forward to seeing you!
