CLASS ACTS
Former Royals Rise to the Occasion Reunion Weekend 2023
Queens was buzzing with enthusiasm and nostalgia as the classes ending in 3 and 8 returned to campus to make new memories with old friends at Reunion 2023 during the weekend of March 31-April 1. Along with student-led tours of new buildings on campus and the Decades Party and Luncheon with President Lugo, this year’s festivities included two new experiences. Alumni were treated to a campus ghost tour and were given the opportunity to participate in a service project during Lounge on the Lawn. While traditional class parties occurred on Saturday evening, more recent grads enjoyed an evening out at Lenny Boy Brewing in South End Charlote.
