Seniors will no longer be considered Waynesburg University students, but alumni. They will be welcomed into a community that has some perks, too.

“Attending these events is a great way to stay connected with the university [and learn]about what is happening on campus,” said Beppler. “The main reason that I believe people should attend these events is that most of these events are free.”

The next recent graduate event is a Pittsburgh Pirates vs. New York Mets game at PNC Park taking place on Saturday, June 28 at 4:05 p.m. 

While many events for recent graduates are held in Pittsburgh, there are various other events in numerous locations across the United States held for alumni. 

“It is also a great networking opportunity and a great opportunity to meet other alumni who have graduated, even if it is in 2013,” said Beppler. “We have graduates from all the years that come to these events, so it is a great networking opportunity.”

“The alumni lunch has been really successful in the past,” said Beppler. “It is a great opportunity to network if you do not have a job and it is also a great opportunity to meet alumni.”

Tickets for the Pirates game are $37 each and are first-come, first-served. 100 tickets are available in Sections 129 and 130. Details have not yet been made, but there will be a party beforehand near PNC Park.

Graduates can buy up to two tickets by visiting Waynesburgunited.com/pirates14.
