Welcome to the Convocation Weekend 2012 website. Join us on 15–16 June 2012 for a weekend packed full of activities, as we roll out the red carpet, and invite our alumni back for the highlight of our events calendar.
In 2012 we'll also be celebrating some special anniversaries: fifty years of the Class of 1962; forty years of the Class of 1972; 30 years of the Class of 1982; and 20 years of the Class of 1992. We hope you'll find this the perfect opportunity to reunite with old friends back on campus.
