Alumni Day Archive

Another successful Alumni Day in the books!

Moved to the fall for better weather and earlier introduction to the novice team, it was a beautiful sunny day at the port!

A couple of alumni got back into a boat!

Coaches, Council, and Alumni board members introduced themselves to the group. Attending alumni went around and shared how this program had impacted their lives. Suanne Starner, a founding member of the team (1977-1978), was in attendance and shared how much it meant to come back after more than 30 years and see how the program has grown and changed.

Seth Weil, who was inducted into the Cal Aggie Hall of Fame the night before, address the attendees and talked about how the UCD Rowing program helped him go from someone who never rowed before to an Olympic athlete!

There was a bounce house and bubbles at Alumni Day this year for the children to play with!

While it was a rainy and gloomy day at the port, the energy at the boathouse was at an all time high! Alumni reunited with their former teammates and got to meet the current team members through a “speed dating” game.

The UCD Women’s Rowing Endowment Plaque was unveiled and hung up at the boathouse. Thank you to all the generous donors! The Endowment Fund will help support the rowing team for years to come!

Sydney Harris and Callie McCain, who placed first in the Doubles race at WIRA 2022 were awarded a banner to be hung up at the boathouse!

Some alumni braved the rain and got out on the water anyway!

We loved seeing our Alumni come home to the port and get out on the water and row! We had some delicious pancakes and the athletes and alumni got to “speed date” each other!
