Nearly a hundred International House alumni and their guests visited campus in October for a stateside reunion weekend. Festivities included a campus tour, a reception at the President's House, a picnic at the International House and a reunion dinner featuring performances by international students.

Working to engage our young alumni, in April the university hosted a Young Alumni Reunion at the International House. A great group of alumni joined us on campus for a reception and a cookout.

This summer, we are hosting an international reunion in Paris to mark the 75th anniversary of the program. Established on campus in 1946 at the end of World War II to foster global peace and understanding, the International Program's first participants were from France. Due to the global pandemic, the 75th anniversary reunion was postponed in 2021 until June 2024. This is the second International House Reunion to be held in France. In 2006, we celebrated the 60th anniversary of the program in Paris as well - with alumni joining us from throughout Europe. We are excited to welcome alumni to Paris again this summer, in conjunction with the Marching Southerners' trip to Normandy and France to perform at the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
