Dinners On Your Own

We strongly encourage you to use this opportunity to reconnect and celebrate with your classmates and other alumni!
Whether you coordinate an informal gathering ahead of time or self-organize at the event, this is the perfect opportunity to share memories and continue the fun. We encourage class members to use your unique class listservs to organize class dinners during your visit. If you would like assistance connecting with other attendees, our Medical Alumni office is happy to help; please reach us at medalum@southalabama.edu or 251.460.6805.
