“Alumni Weekend on the Hillside is always a special occasion. It’s an opportunity to renew old friendships, and to reminisce about experiences in the classrooms and on the playing fields. They say you can’t go home again, but Alumni Weekend is as close as it gets,” Peter Thompson ‘67.
Thursday, June 5: Tee Off the Weekend
The festivities begin off campus with a friendly Golf Outing and Dinner at River Oaks Golf Club. It’s the perfect 
way to ease into the weekend—catching up with old friends, enjoying the scenic views, and celebrating the start of Alumni Weekend together.

Friday kicks off with a tradition of camaraderie and adventure, as the Class of 1975 leads a Hike to Bull Mountain, inviting all alumni to stretch their legs and take in the natural beauty that makes South Kent so special.
In the afternoon, head to Bringhurst Auditorium for Post Pigtail Perspectives to hear brief presentations on impactful experiences and insights.
Then, it’s game time! Grab a glove or cheer from the sidelines during a fun Alumni Softball Game.
As the sun sets, we’ll gather for Cocktails in the Courtyard and then it’s time to head off to your class dinner at your favorite restaurant in town.
