The Alumni Weekend celebration will be held when it is safe and feasible to do so. The immediate future is simply too uncertain to know when it will be possible to hold these events.. Details will be provided as soon as it’s possible and the SU Foundation looks forward to hosting our Annual Finance and Estate Planning Seminar.
