Annual Alumni Reunion
On campus

Note: Given the current coronavirus situation we are unable to confirm this event will go ahead as planned. We very much hope to run the event as expected but a final decision will be taken closer to the time, informed by the latest on the situation.

Our flagship event for graduates of the University of Sheffield. Join us for a full day of campus tours and talks on some of our latest research. In the evening, you can enjoy dinner and dancing in Firth Hall before Pop Tarts Reunited rounds off the night. This event is open to all alumni, but may be of particular interest to alumni from the classes of 2000, 1995, 1990 and 1980 celebrating 20, 25, 30 and 40 years since graduation.
