That funny feeling in your stomach as you crested those hills and saw the first cupolas in the distance? For most of us, coming back to campus has always evoked that nervous-excited feeling. Whether it was anxiety about an upcoming exam or the thrill of seeing friends again, returning home to Oxford is a unique feeling. This time there should be no anxiety, only excitement. Alumni Weekend is a time to renew acquaintances and to let the memories flood back. It is a time to reconnect with a place you once called home, and to discover anew why Miami is the perfect place to grow and learn. It is a weekend to have fun, to learn, and to celebrate with others our shared Miami experience. So take full advantage of your time. Enjoy the company of friends you see too infrequently. Spend time back in the classroom with Miami’s outstanding professors. Visit your favorite campus spots. And when you head out of town, recall that other familiar feeling – a tinge of regret at leaving, but confidence that Miami will always be here, ready to welcome you home. Have a wonderful weekend!

This large area is open to everyone during the day. On Friday, you will need a ticket for the dinner portion of the Alumni Dinner and Dance. At 7:30 p.m., the Campus Owls will begin to play and the tent area is open to all Miamians. A cash bar will be available as well. On Saturday at AlumniFest, the Reunion Tent Area can only be accessed with the AlumniFest ticket and wristband, starting at 5:30 p.m. The barbecue dinner will be served from 6 - 8 p.m. and reunion- year classes will host parties in their respective tent areas. Live music will play from 7:30 - 11 p.m., and a cash bar will be available within the space. Both evening parties are open to Miamians of all ages, so join the fun! Weather The safety of Alumni Weekend participants is our number one priority. If severe weather approaches (lightning, high winds, hail, etc.), please follow the instructions provided by the Miami University Police Department and Alumni Association staff members and immediately seek shelter in an adjacent building. Once the weather passes, the “all clear” will be given and outdoor events will resume, if possible (including delayed meals, live entertainment, etc.). Should a rain shower roll through the area, outdoor events, activities, and meal service will continue. Your cooperation, patience, and flexibility are greatly appreciated. The Red Zone The Red Zone can be found in the center of the Reunion Tent Area. Within this space, you can find Alumni Association merchandise; the Cyber Café, brought to you by Miami University IT Services; and season ticket sales for Miami Athletics. Computing Resources Guest Internet access is available in each residence hall room for anyone who brought a laptop. Alumni can access the Internet via wired or wireless connections. Instructions on how to connect are available at Registration Headquarters and at the front desk of each residence hall. Email and Internet will also be available in the Red Zone Cyber Café, brought to you by Miami University IT Services, Friday and Saturday evenings.
