Traditions
From networking opportunities and regional gatherings to our signature annual events, the Calvin Alumni Association creates ways for you to connect throughout the year. Come back to campus for a host of activities during Homecoming & Family weekend, compete in the Calvin Classic, join a watch party for The Rivalry, and so much more!
