We are delighted to once again invite all our alumni to join us for the annual Alumni BBQ on Friday 6 September.
The popular event has been running for several years and provides Kent graduates with an opportunity to catch up with friends and revisit our beautiful campus. Make sure you book soon, spaces are filling up fast!
Why not stay for the whole weekend?
Each year, several groups opt to organise small reunions with friends over the weekend of the BBQ. To support this, we can offer a discount code for on campus accommodation and will provide guided tours of campus on Saturday morning and can arrange for a meal to be served in Dolce Vita (in Keynes College) that evening.
Please note that we are not in a position to manage these reunions and, outside of these planned activities, the weekend will be self organised. The Kent Football reunion is a great example of this and is open to anyone who ever played football whilst at the university.
Everyone is welcome
We hope to welcome as many of you as possible over the weekend, so please be sure to share details with your university friends! With over 200,000 Kent alumni, we cannot guarantee that people from your cohort will be in attendance, but needless to say – we all have one thing in common – our memories of Kent!
We hope to see you there!
Please register to attend the BBQ on Friday 6 September.
You will also need to reserve a table in Dolche Vita on Saturday 7 September if you wish to have dinner there. Please email alumni@kent.ac.uk to make a booking.
To stay on campus, you can book your accommodation here using the discount code ALUMNI24
Further information or to book a campus tour please email alumni@kent.ac.uk.
