Homecoming 2025 Puts the Spotlight on the Alumni BBQ<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Homecoming is more than just a weekend\u2014it\u2019s a celebration of our shared history, a chance to reconnect with old friends and an opportunity to return to the place that helped shape who you are today. We welcome you to the alumni main event: the Alumni BBQ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Join fellow Red Hawks for the signature alumni event of the day, held just outside Cole Hall. Dig into a savory BBQ lunch, sip on craft beer and cider, enjoy music, lawn games and plenty of fun for the kids. It’s the perfect place to see familiar faces, make new connections and show off your Red Hawk pride before the big game. Featured local breweries include: Cricket Hill<\/a>, Montclair Brewery<\/a>. Seven Tribesman<\/a> and Burnt Mills Cider<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Alumni BBQ will welcome special gatherings for milestone classes and affinity groups. These reunions are more than just a walk down memory lane, they\u2019re an opportunity to reconnect with the people who shaped your college experience and celebrate the impact our alumni continue to make in their communities and professions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to welcome my fellow class of 2010 alumni to Montclair for our 15th Reunion at the Alumni BBQ! It\u2019s the perfect chance to reconnect, reminisce and see how far we\u2019ve all come \u2014 and how much the campus has grown with us. I can\u2019t wait to catch up and celebrate everything that made our time at Montclair so memorable,\u201d said Ian Honauer ’10 ’18 MBA.<\/p>\n
