Campus-wide festivities on the weekend of Sept. 25-27 include parties, wine tastings, athletics contests, and fireworks.
Keuka College’s annual Green & Gold Reunion & Family Weekend once again features a variety of on-campus events. And once again, the general public is invited.
“With so much going on, Green & Gold Weekend is a great opportunity for our neighbors to visit campus and join in the fun,” said Keuka College President Amy Storey.
