The Alumni Office is constantly seeking ways to connect with alumni. To that end we offer excellent alumni travel packages to a variety of locations, and our annual Candlelighting Ceremony and Jazz on the Bricks. When the Community of Christ holds its World Conference, we have a lovely alumni reception at the Independence campus, and when the Graceland choirs and orchestra perform at the Temple we invite alumni and friends to join us there. Homecoming, the biggest special event of the year, draws alumni from all areas of the country. More intimate, smaller gatherings occur in various cities around the globe. Check here for announcements of the dates and locations of all these events.
