Alumni, Donors and Friends

Each graduate of the UND Theatre is by definition a member of the Alumni Association. We know your time at UND was special, and hope you stay in touch with us.

Please join us each year during Homecoming Weekend. The department, along with the UND College of Arts & Sciences, hosts an alumni reunion each year during Homecoming Weekend. The annual reunion is a terrific opportunity to get caught up with classmates and experience the latest offerings of the school through programs, concerts and presentations.
