Whether you’re discovering hidden gems in local museums or savoring flavors from the best neighborhood spots, you’ll be doing it alongside fellow alumni who share your Spider pride. Reconnect with your alumni community, explore your city in a new way, and make this a summer to remember—one bite, one exhibit, and one great conversation at a time.
