You're a Knight for life
The Calvin Alumni Association is here to serve you—as a student and for the rest of your life.

Recurring events
Events for Seniors
We celebrate students who are seniors and help them prepare for life after Calvin with special events throughout the yeare like Senior Sips, Countdown to Commencement, and the Senior Celebration last day of school party.
Cold Knight Plunge
You can be part of one of Calvin’s favorite tradition! You simply have to jump into the Sem Pond in the middle of winter. Jumpers receive a towel each year they jump, and if you're brave enough to jump all four years, you’re receive a much-coveted golden towel.
Professor of the Year
Calvin faculty are one-of-a-kind. So, each year we let one professor know just how much we love them. As part of Senior Salute, the graduating class gets to nominate professors who’ve gone above and beyond. The winner offers remarks during graduation rehearsal. See the professor of the year
The Rivalry
For years, Calvin University and Hope College have competed in one of the most heated rivalries in college sports—an annual tradition spanning over 100 years. The game is broadcast to alumni around the world, and we’ll help you get a front row seat.
