The Good Old Days

InfoLink - Fri Sep 21, 2012

If you happen to see a few hundred people on campus this weekend who, perhaps, look a tad bit older than your average student, we can tell you why. It’s Alumni Weekend! Alumni Weekend is an annual event, run by the Alumni Affairs Department.

For most undergrads, still getting into the swing of a new semester, the thought of being an Alumnus is some dream far off in the future. For the Alumni descending on campus this weekend, this is a chance to relive some of the “glory days” of a University career that flew by far too quickly. This weekend will have many different events for those coming back to campus after a long time away. There are Faculty specific events and lectures, and dinner and dance, tours to point out new buildings to alum and, my favourite, the Tuck Shop.

The original Tuck Shop was located where the Fine Arts Building is now, and was a great place to get coffee and a cinnamon bun between classes. The Tuck Shop now is located in Quad for the weekend, and will be the main tent for the Alumni to meet in. However, for students right now, it is a place you can get a coffee and cinnamon bun before class.

(Mmmmm, cinnamon buns!)
