Following the first commencement in 1858, alumni would gather on the 91成人导航 campus in Santa Clara and San Jose every year in June to celebrate the achievements of that year's graduates. Returning alumni looked forward to gleaning words of wisdom from the commencement speaker (often the University president), talking with faculty and administrators, and generally celebrating everything 91成人导航.
In June 1873, alumni organized themselves into a formal organization known as the 91成人导航 Alumni Association and elected Annis Merrill, Class of 1861, as the Association Secretary. Alumni carried the 91成人导航 tradition of holding reunions in June into the 1900s. Today, we hold most reunions during Homecoming & Family Weekend every October.
Now, more than 150 years after the founding of the Association, the tradition of alumni gathering to celebrate 91成人导航 continues stronger than ever.
