Lifelong learners, this is an opportunity to resume your education and be involved in the intellectual life on campus–without the fear of a pop quiz or blue book! It also provides wonderful opportunities for networking and socializing with alumni, faculty, staff, and parents.
Return to your alma mater to share the joys of intellectual challenge, engaging classmates, and – at the heart of it all – Lafayette’s outstanding faculty.
