A Nationwide Celebration!

Regional Sesquicentennial Events

Alumni and friends of the University have been gathering throughout the country this Sesquicentennial year to celebrate Rochester's 150th anniversary. From Boston to San Francisco, and from St. Petersburg to Seattle, Rochester's influence has been nationwide, and so has the celebration.

A total of 18 Regional Sesqui Celebrations are taking place in the months leading up to Sesqui Weekend, October 12-15. Kicking off in Buffalo and wrapping up in Phoenix, each celebration is a chance for alumni to reconnect, reminisce, and plan for their return to Rochester this fall.

President Jackson cuts the birthday cake. He also addressed the audience and introduced the Sesqui Celebration video, Rochester: Then and Now.
