Registration has officially opened for Brock Days<\/a> – the University\u2019s homecoming and community celebration \u2013 taking place Friday, Sept. 21 to Sunday, Sept. 30.<\/p>\n

This annual event is the perfect opportunity for the Brock community to come together \u2014 students, faculty, staff, and alumni.<\/p>\n

Brock Days is anchored by two festivities-filled weekends \u2014 Alumni Weekend and Community Weekend \u2014 and offers engaging student events.<\/p>\n

Alumni Weekend<\/a> happens Sept. 21 to 23 and is a great opportunity for graduates to reconnect, rediscover and remember.<\/p>\n
