Marquette University Alumni Association

Nearly 50 years later, they're back where it all began. 📍Marquette University

These classmates and roommates from the Class of 1976 recreated a campus photo from their student days during Weekend 2026.

Some things change with time. Marquette friendships last forever. 💙💛

What a weekend!💙💛

Thank you to everyone who returned to campus for Alumni Reunion Weekend 2026. Whether you traveled across the country or across town, your presence helped make this weekend so special.

Before Weekend comes to a close, join us for a Reunion Mass at 10:30 a.m. as we gather one last time in gratitude, reflection and Marquette spirit.

We'll see you there!

🤩 Friends, food and plenty of Marquette University spirit at today's Block Party. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces reconnecting, enjoying lawn games and gathering around some of Milwaukee's favorite food trucks.

Alumni, who did you reconnect with this weekend? 💙 💛

What a beautiful morning on Milwaukee's lakefront. 💙💛

Thank you to our alumni and friends who participated in today's LOVELLSTRONG Run/Walk honoring former President Michael R. Lovell.

As we ran and walked together, we celebrated the strength, spirit and sense of community that defined his leadership, and his enduring passion for running, wellness and the Marquette University family.

From campus tours to Friday Night Parties, day one of Weekend was certainly a day to remember! 💙💛

The celebration keeps going today! 🎉 Just arriving? Be sure to stop by Reunion Headquarters and our Reunion Lounge in the AMU.
