Homecoming Weekend
Join our students, alumni, families, and friends for one of our largest annual gatherings to celebrate SU campus pride and experience SU life in 2022. Homecoming week kicks off with a SWAN Golf Day on Thursday, 8 September with events throughout the week leading up to Homecoming Weekend. Read more about our programme below.
Let’s help celebrate the First-Year Groups of 1971, 1972, 1981 and 1982, 1991 and 1992, 2001 and 2002, 2011 and 2012 in Stellenbosch. The 1971, 1972, 1982, 2002, and 2012 Graduates of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences are getting together on the Tygerberg campus too.
Join in the Wilgenhof Annual day, Majuba’s 55th birthday Spitbraai Reunion, Goldfields’ 35 Reunion dinner, and Helderberg’s 75 Reunion Spitbraai, Serruria 45 Brunch, Huis Ten Bosch’s 85 Brunch, Helderberg’s 75 Brunch, or Heemstede’s 55 Brunch. Don’t miss the Hombré House Meeting and Spitbraai, the Eendrag 61 Alumni Talks, Helderberg’s 75 formal dinner, Eendrag’s 61 formal dinner, and Heemstede’s 55 dinner. AND Metanoia turns 16 (okay, so they should have turned 15 last year, but you know, Covid…) – hip, hip, hooray!
There’s a Business Breakfast in Stellenbosch with our Stellenbosch University Business School Alumni Association on Friday morning, 9 September, and in partnership with Meridian Wine, we’ve put-together a Matie Soiree “Lente in die Boland” in the Alumni Clubhouse at Die Stal with Matie Winemakers and Matie non-alcoholic beverage innovators, with great music to kuier by, on Friday afternoon and evening, 9 September.
Moreover, our international alumni hubs and chapters continue to provide opportunities for you to connect with us and one another wherever you may find yourself located in the world.
So, join us!
