This past weekend, more than 1,100 alumni and friends returned to Ivey for an incredible Homecoming celebration. Alumni celebrated reunions, caught up with old classmates and professors, shared old memories, and made new ones, too.
The Open House at the Ivey Building began at 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 21, and included tours from student volunteers, updates on all of Ivey’s programs, an Ivey Pledge Ceremony, remarks from Acting Dean Mark Vandenbosch, and a nostalgic case class.
Vandenbosch and Michael Bernstein, MBA ’96, Chair of the Ivey Alumni Network, recognized the contributions of the Distinguished Service and Faculty Service Award recipients during the Dean’s Welcome.
