Buffalo State to Celebrate Class of 2020 with Special Reunion Event

Buffalo State University will host a reunion for the Class of 2020 on May 24 and 25, 2024. This event marks four years since their original graduation, which was moved online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The university had to prioritize health and safety by holding virtual ceremonies, impacting the traditional graduation experience for many.

Chad Williams, an alumnus, noted that missing the in-person ceremony was disappointing, especially after overcoming personal challenges. His experience underscores the importance of the ceremony for many graduates.

The Alumni Engagement Office, led by Katelyn Brickhouse, organized the reunion to properly celebrate the 2020 graduates. The two-day event will allow alumni to reconnect with faculty and peers and include a stage-crossing ceremony.

The reunion begins with school-specific receptions on May 24 at the LoRusso Alumni and Visitor Center, followed by a 'Senior Send-Off' party. The main event on May 25 in the Campbell Student Union's Social Hall will feature a stage-crossing ceremony and a speech by alumni speaker Del Reid, a successful entrepreneur.
