Alumni Weekend 2026 Breaks Records
June 29, 2026
Saint Elizabeth University (SEU) happily welcomed alumni and friends back to campus for its annual Reunion Weekend on June 26–27, 2026. The two-day celebration, designed by alumni volunteers, provided something for everyone as it brought together generations of CSE and SEU graduates to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate their shared legacy.
The festivities kicked off Friday evening with "Evening Under the Stars," a vibrant welcome-back celebration. Attendees enjoyed an outdoor oasis featuring great food, drinks, music, and dancing, alongside a featured art exhibit, photo booth, campus store and spacious outdoor seating that set a festive tone for the weekend.
Saturday’s events began with a beautiful, reflective Reunion Mass in the historic Holy Family Chapel. Following the service, 79 alumni and friends gathered for a formal luncheon — marking an incredible 100% increase in attendance over the previous year. President Gary Crosby proudly addressed the crowd, "We gather in celebration of an outstanding year of growth and support for your alma mater. From historic philanthropic gifts to investments by the State of New Jersey, it is more clear than ever that Saint Elizabeth University is a university on the rise."
To commemorate the milestone, the group gathered for a traditional photograph on the iconic grand staircase steps of the Sisters of Charity Administration Building.
"Seeing our attendance double this year is a testament to the enduring spirit and tight-knit bond of the Saint Elizabeth community," said Andrea Adams, Director of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving. "It was a truly wonderful gathering of familiar faces and new memories."
The afternoon featured campus tours and engaging breakout sessions, allowing alumni an in-depth view of the campus. The weekend concluded with tailored evening events: younger alumni wrapped up their trip with a cozy "Till We Meet Again" sweets, coffee, and tea social, while alumni celebrating 50+ years since graduation capped off the weekend with an exclusive Milestone Dinner.
Saint Elizabeth University thanks everyone who traveled back to campus to make this weekend a resounding success. If next year is your milestone reunion year, the University looks forward to welcoming you back home to join in the fun!
