University of York Alumni Weekend 2012

Challenge yourself with new experiences; revisit familiar places; connect with fellow graduates, current students, and leading international figures. The weekend is an opportunity to get involved in what is still at the heart of life at York: stimulating academic engagement and an exciting collegiate social scene. Attendees can hear from international authors, unearth the history of York, debate topical issues, experiment in the labs, and make new connections. Or, just relax with friends and enjoy good food and conversation.
