Alumni Weekend 2025
February 28 - March 2, 2025
Saint Leo University alumni always carry memories of their university experience with them —wherever they go and no matter how long it’s been.
Each year, Alumni Weekend is an opportunity for alumni to rekindle those memories, reconnect with old friends, and be a part of the great things taking place at the university today. It’s a treasured tradition that keeps the Saint Leo University spirit strong — always.
