NIAGARA COLLEGE
*************************
Niagara College alumni: get ready to rev up your school spirit and reconnect with your alma mater for a full day of family-friendly fun.
Tickets are now available for ReuKnighted ’24, which will be held on Saturday, Nov. 2 at the Welland Campus.
Organizers from Alumni Relations and Athletics have teamed up to present this year’s alumni reunion event in a new one-day format. Alumni and their families can take in NC Knights action with admission to two basketball and two volleyball games at the Simplii Financial Athletic Centre, along with an alumni tailgate party and VIP access to The Core, and a dedicated ‘kids’ zone’ for younger Knights fans.
“It’s that time of year when we gather with our alumni to reminisce, catch up and to celebrate their successes since graduating,” said Jana Boniferro, Director, Alumni Relations. “ReuKnighted is open to all alumni and friends. We look forward to welcoming you back on campus while cheering on the Knights!”
“ReuKnighted is always a great time for our alumni to return to Welland Campus, see how things have changed, connect with old friends and watch our varsity Knights play,” said Michele O’Keefe, Director Athletics and Student Engagement. “Our gym has had a big refresh this year and we’re anxious for our Knights alumni to see it.”
Alumni who attend ReuKnighted ‘24 will also have a rare opportunity to own a piece of Knights’ history. About 40 old team bench chairs bearing the former Knights logo will be available for purchase at the event. The chairs were replaced over the summer with ones bearing the new logo.
Full day of family-friendly fun:
ReuKnighted ‘24 will kick off with Knights basketball games against Sheridan; the women’s game will begin at noon and men’s game will start at 2 p.m.
From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., an exclusive ReuKnighted tailgate party will be held at The Core, featuring food from NC’s School of Culinary Arts.
Then the fun will return to the gym with two volleyball games against Fanshawe, beginning with the women’s game at 6 p.m. followed by the men’s game at 8 p.m.
Tickets are now on sale:
ReuKnighted ’24 has limited capacity, so alumni are encouraged to secure their tickets early.
