VU Homecoming – Reunion Day

Past and present students and staff are invited to our Reunion Day, part of VU Homecoming weekend on 2-4 December.

It’s a special alumni event, an opportunity for you to come back to campus, reconnect with teachers and colleagues, reunite with classmates, make new connections and enjoy a weekend of entertainment and activity.

92 year old Wal Hopkins from the class of 1938 will be one of the guests of honour at our upcoming Reunion Day.

It’s our way of saying thank you to all of the VU community, past and present, for making VU what it is today.

Get in touch with your alumni friends and register your reunion for a chance to win great prizes.
