Join us for Alumni Weekend 2024

May 10 – 12, 2024

Serving as an opportunity to come together with friends and classmates alike, Drury University Alumni Weekend is the signature alumni event of the year. We hope you’ll come to reconnect, relive your favorite college memories, and see your alma mater through the eyes of current students! This year we are offering special recognition to the classes of 2014, 2004, 1994, 1984, and 1974.

Regardless of the event or the venue, the theme of the weekend will be constant; Drury Pride and Lifelong Friendships.
