Welcome back to Ohio Northern University’s Alumni Weekend, a time to celebrate the special 50-year reunion of the Class of 1963 as well as those who are celebrating their 55-, 60-, 65- and 70-year reunions! Additionally, we look forward to celebrating with all of our Golden Year alumni – everyone celebrating 50 years or more.

We would like to thank the members of the Class of 1963 Reunion Planning Committee for all of their work on planning the weekend and for reaching out to classmates to encourage attendance. We will have a special celebration on Friday, May 31, for the Class of 1963.

Celebrations for the other mentioned reunion classes will immediately follow the Alumni Reunion Luncheon on Saturday, June 1.

Most importantly, we know that you’ll have a fun-filled weekend. We look forward to having you return to campus for seminars, programs and a chance to meet with President Dan DiBiasio and his wife, Chris Burns-DiBiasio.

As you read through the following schedule of events, please contact us at 866-ONU-ALUM or alumni@onu.edu if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you back on campus.
