Alumni Day, 2016 Reunion and Commemoration of Benefactors
Saturday 26 September 2026
We are delighted to invite you back to Selwyn for our annual Alumni Day dinner, a chance to reconnect with the college. If your year group hasn’t had a reunion for a few years, why not get together with a group for this occasion? The candle-lit, black-tie dinner in the evening is open to all alumni and your guests.
Those who matriculated in 2016 are warmly invited back to Selwyn to celebrate 10 years since they walked through the archway into Old Court. Guests are also welcome. The event also coincides with the Commemoration of Benefactors service, offering the opportunity to attend an evening chapel service. The 2016 year group will be seated together during dinner.
If you plan to arrive a little earlier you are most welcome to have lunch in Hall (from midday) and the bar will be open from 2pm until midnight.
Accommodation is available in college on Saturday 26 September, with a limited number of rooms available on Friday 25 and Sunday 27 September.
