Generations of Canisius alumni rekindled old friendships and renewed their Golden Griffin spirit, during Alumni Weekend 2013.
The three-day reunion kicked off with the time-honored Tent Party, which attracts hundreds back to alma mater each year.
Alumni also went back to class for a series of abbreviated lectures by Canisius faculty. ‘Students’ explored the minds of killer whales, witnessed the robotics revolution underway at Science Hall, and heard about the latest breakthroughs being made by the Institute for Autism Research. Campus tours, a visit to the Naval Park, and a presentation by President John J. Hurley on Canisius’ first 100 years on Main Street, preceded individual milestone class events on Saturday evening. Reunion weekend culminated with a Mass in Christ the King Chapel followed by a family picnic, complete with lunch from Anderson’s, a balloon artist and bounce house for the kids, and a visit from Petey the Griffin.
