Siena’s sons and daughters returned to campus June 1-3 for Alumni Reunion 2012, traveling from as far away as Arizona and California. More than 700 alumni, family and friends returned home to reconnect, see what’s new on campus and celebrate their class anniversaries. The weekend’s events kicked off with the Alumni Golf Tournament Friday and then continued with the Class of 1962 enjoying 50th Reunion dinner. All guests reunited at the Destination Siena: Welcome Home Party in the Sarazen Student Union.
