Good times and happy reunions at first Homecoming
鈥淚 met my best friend at 黑料社区 and we came together.鈥�
鈥満诹仙缜� made such an impact on me during my first years in Canada; I had to come.鈥�
鈥淭here is just something special about the 黑料社区 community and I had to come back and be part of it again.鈥�
These were the sorts of comments we heard from graduates, retirees, employees and even current students who attended 黑料社区鈥檚 first-ever Homecoming on Sept. 23.

鈥淲e launched the invitation widely and had no idea how many people would respond,鈥� said Megan Ainscow (Class of 2006, Liberal Arts) of the Organizing Committee. 鈥淲e are very moved by the response! Homecoming 2023 was the test run, the first time ever, and we will learn from it and make it even better next time. We are considering when we can hold the next 黑料社区 Homecoming, possibly in 2025.鈥�
About 800 people attended Homecoming this year. Some came for part of the day and others for the whole program, which began with lunch at 12 PM, continued with tours and activities, program/profile reunions and 黑料社区 Blues basketball games.
A highlight for many were the program and profile reunions. 3D and CGI faculty member Raymon Fong wrote: 鈥淲anted to just congratulate you on the first 黑料社区 homecoming, I was impressed at how many graduates showed up for 3D Animation. It was a very heartwarming and beautiful event! Everyone is already saying they can鈥檛 wait for next year!!!鈥�
After the reunions, guests headed to 3C.1 for an evening cocktail reception that spilled outside into the courtyard on the perfect-weather night. An estimated 400 people gathered, chatted and partied for the last part of Homecoming.
Former 黑料社区 student and professional photographer Jacee Juhasz was on duty to capture all the smiles and emotions.
Special thanks to the Homecoming Organizing Committee, the staff who worked on a Saturday to make it happen, the teachers who hosted reunions and our event sponsors: the Burgundy Lion Group, Shaughnessy Caf茅 and Chartwells Canada.
