Start your Homecoming weekend with a visit to Grant Hall for our annual Welcome and Check-in. This event, previously known as Meet & Greet, serves as the first stop for all alumni returning to campus for Homecoming.
You can check-in, find information about activities happening over the weekend, pick up your commemorative name tag button, grab a program guide, souvenirs, reunion pins, and much more. Volunteers and campus representatives will be on site to answer your questions, assist with check-in, and acquaint you with everything new on campus.
Enjoy a complimentary coffee or tea while listening to music provided by CFRC. Be sure to stop by our exhibitor tables and chat with representatives from Tourism Kingston, Queen’s Archives, and Agnes Etherington Art Centre!
Stop by the Queen’s Alumni Review for the return of the magazine’s popular photo booth. It’s your chance to strike a pose with friends, family, housemates or classmates – a professional photographer will capture your Homecoming spirit with beautiful photos that our designer will use to create a mock cover of the Alumni Review for a special souvenir, emailed straight to your inbox after Homecoming weekend. Best of all, there’s no charge to create this memory – just bring your tartan, your tam, and your favourite tricolour accessories and we’ll set the stage to make you look like a supermodel.
