Upcoming Events

Wesleyan University holds events for alumni and families to gather and network on campus, nationally, and regionally, as well as virtual seminars and events.  

Wesleyan engagement events are open to the entire Wesleyan alumni and parent community. We encourage you to read event descriptions, as some events may have a reunion or other focus designed primarily for alumni interaction or may be focused on building community among current parents and their students. If you have a question about a specific event please reach out to us.
