True Blue: Family & Alumni Weekend

Mark your calendars! True Blue Weekend is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with Hilbert College and celebrate the Hilbert community. Join us on campus Friday, October 18 & Saturday, October 19, 2024 for a weekend of fun, memories, and Hilbert spirit!

Our events are open to the entire Hilbert community: students, families, alumni, and campus members!

  • Bring your whole family to enjoy True Blue Weekend! Participate in family bingo, enjoy a delicious breakfast at the Campus Center Dining Hall, or join the Fall Festival activities on Saturday afternoon, where you'll find axe throwing, a petting zoo, pumpkin painting, and more!
  • Join our Alumni gathering for a happy hour at JP Fitzgerald's on Friday evening. On Saturday morning, attend the Alumni Breakfast and San Damiano Awards Ceremony, where outstanding alumni are recognized for their achievements.
  • Support our student-athletes as they take on Brockport in the Hilbert Hawks Football Game. You can also catch the Baseball Alumni Game and the Women's Volleyball game.
  • End the Weekend in Style by enjoying a celebratory Tent Party featuring food trucks, drink trucks, a DJ, and more on Saturday evening.
