September is a star of a month. It’s when nights start to cool off, the leaves change colour and the fall term begins at Brock University.

September also brings harvest time. The Niagara Wine Festival returns to help celebrate the growing season that was.

Brock University is proud to once again partner with the Niagara Wine Festival to offer students, alumni, faculty and staff special discounts to enjoy the festival and visit local wineries.

To enjoy these exclusive offerings, email alumni@brocku.ca for more information.
