The Van Mildert Association Alumni Reunion Weekend is a wonderful opportunity for alumni to reconnect with fellow Mildertians and their College.
Whilst we are looking forward to welcoming back Mildertians from across all year groups, we are particularly excited to welcome back the graduating class of 1969, who will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of their graduation, along with those who graduated in 1979, 1989, 1999 and 2009!
Over the course of the weekend a number of activities and events are planned including the Annual Dinner on Saturday 13 July at 7 pm in the Ann Dobson Hall. Further details about each of the activities can be found below. In addition, the Van Mildert Association AGM will take place on Saturday 13 July at 4 pm.
