We are eager to celebrate with you and know that you are eager to celebrate with each other! As we have shared, the school will continue to monitor this situation closely, keeping the safety of our alumni and our campus community at the top of our minds. As this situation evolves and new updates, concerns, and safety measures are released, we will continue to look for future opportunities that will allow us to gather, celebrate, and remain healthy and safe.  At this time, however, we have no plans that we can currently share. We will provide more updates as soon as we are able.

You may request a refund for your full amount paid, inclusive of event fees and on-campus dorm reservations, to your original payment method. Please allow two to three weeks for your refund to be processed.

Alternatively, we ask you to consider converting your Alumni Weekend registration fee to a 2020 Canterbury Annual Fund gift.  In return, we are happy to offer you complimentary attendance (free of charge) when Alumni Weekend is rescheduled (details TBD).  We would be very grateful for your support and generosity during this difficult time.

Please indicate your wishes using this form or by sending an email to Director of Alumni Relations Kate Heslin ‘96. 

Your generosity is especially important and greatly appreciated during this difficult time. You may redirect your registration fee to the 2020 Canterbury Annual Fund.  In return, we are happy to offer you complimentary attendance (free of charge) when Alumni Weekend is rescheduled (details TBD).

We encourage you to immediately reach out to your respective hotel, airline, or other travel vendors to cancel your reservation(s) associated with Alumni Weekend.  Canterbury is not able to cancel these arrangements on your behalf. We do know that many hotels and airlines have been flexible with cancellations given the severity of the global pandemic. Please contact them directly to request a refund or credit.

If you reserved a room at one of the hotels that offered a room block, you must cancel the reservation yourself. We suggest doing so as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Canterbury cannot cancel your hotel reservation for you. Please refer to the booking confirmation sent by the hotel for their cancelation policy.

As of Monday, March 16th, and until further notice, the Canterbury campus is closed to all external visitors. We encourage all alumni and friends to follow the guidelines outlined by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institute of Health (NIH), which recommend social distancing and social isolation as the only known way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We respectfully ask that you not put our essential staff and our community members and their families at risk by visiting campus. 

The 2020 recipients of the Thomas J. Sheehy III Distinguished Alumni Award and the Outstanding Young Alumni Award will still be presented with their respective honors. We are exploring opportunities to recognize them at a future date, including times when their specific reunion classes will be celebrating together in the future.

Your generosity in honor of your Reunion is greatly appreciated and a vital part of Canterbury’s successful fundraising program. Although Alumni Weekend has been canceled, all gifts made between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020 by you and members of your class will still be counted toward your Reunion Class giving totals. Likewise, any pledges made will still be honored.  Thank you for your generosity!  

If you have questions about your Reunion gift, or if you would like to discuss making a gift, please contact Director of Alumni Relations Kate Heslin ‘96.
