Paint night is a creative experience where you’ll be able to follow along step-by-step with Springfield local artist Sarah Dufner. It’s just like a regular in-studio painting event, except through a live Zoom event. You'll paint with other alumni, family, and friends on a pre-selected design. You will receive instructions on what supplies you will need to purchase from your local hobby store (canvas, easel, brushes, paints, etc.). No experience is needed. This event is for alumni and families, and students only.
May
The Student Alumni Dinner program brings medical students and alumni together over a meal outside of campus. We are hoping with the availability of COVID vaccines and fewer restrictions that Carbondale students and alumni will be able to enjoy a meal together in May 2021. Check back for more information and keep an eye out for emails from Alumni Affairs.
Fireside Chat with Dean & Provost Dr. Jerry Kruse and Alumni Society Board of Governors President Dr. Matthew Winkleman, ’02. This event is for alumni and residents only.

After much consideration, due to COVID-19 and the uncertainty of large group gatherings in June, Reunion 2021 will not take place. Based on feedback from class reunion committees and discussion with Dean & Provost Dr. Kruse, the feelings are that it would be too soon for people to feel comfortable traveling, and it’s just too early. We know this is disappointing news. The Office of Alumni Affairs will work with each reunion class committee to develop virtual or other class connections if they choose to do so and when it is safe.
