Residences
Stellenbosch University boasts a vibrant and active community of residences and PSO structures which host a range of alumni activities throughout the year. Every year the various residence and PSOs drive interactive alumni programmes that include first-year reunions, birthday reunions, guest lectures, sports, and cultural events.
In 2022, we are excited to introduce a revived reunion model. We will be hosting alumni reunions of all the residences and PSOs on the same weekend, during our annual Homecoming and Family Weekend. It will include 80 first-year reunions and 10 birthday reunions. This is a weekend you cannot miss! Keeping in mind the dynamic nature of the university calendar and uncertainties surrounding the global COVID-19 situation, we’re sharing provisional activities for 2022. Can’t find events for your specific PSO or residence? Not to worry; we’ll keep you posted via email, on our various social media platforms and website.
Decade reunions
As part of the annual Homecoming celebration, we are hosting first-year reunions for our 1972, 1982, 1992, 2002, 2012 cohort. These events include visits to your residences, campus tours and a big year-group luncheon.
We have reached out to residence and PSO alumni and confirmed alumni champions for each year-group. These champions will bring together Maties of each year-group to reunite and celebrate Homecoming. Due to COVID-19 restrictions in 2021, our 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2011 will also be hosting their own first-year reunions at Homecoming 2022.
COME! And engage with your closest friends in your year-group and use this opportunity to reminisce and network.
Interested in attending or getting involved with the planning? Please contact dfvandyk@sun.ac.za so that we can put you in contact with current alumni champions.
