A Virtual Success!
The gatherings were virtual but the Bronco love shone through! More than 400 alumni from 23 states and 12 countries joined Grand Reunion to catch up with classmates and connect with SCU. If you couldn’t make it, or just want to relive the fun, you can tune into the recorded sessions. And, don’t forget to mark your calendars for Oct. 7-10, 2021—especially if you graduated in a year ending in 0,1, 5 or 6. We plan to reunite in person and enjoy twice the Grand Reunion fun.
