Welcome Kick-off Reception at the I-House followed by Jazz with alumni musicians (Early Evening)
Join us for a casual reception at the I-House to get the reunion started. Wander around your home away from home and see what is the same and what has changed -- and then wander again, because the House holds lots of memories. Then relax and enjoy jazz played by our I-House alumni musicians. This event is open to alumni and family members. Dress code is casual.

Bowling on campus, games, and BBQ @ I-House (Daytime and early evening)
We'll start out early afternoon in the Student Union at the bowling lanes and then return
to I-House to play pool, table tennis, foosball, and board games followed by an I-House
BBQ on the patio.
Pub crawl (Evening)
You might be surprised to know that San Jose actually has some night life these days!!! If you haven’t been in the area in the past 10 or 15 years, you’ll enjoy our walk (or ‘crawl’!) to see how the city is changing. Even if you’re local, you’ll have a great time as we visit some local brew pubs and tap rooms, reminisce about our time in ‘The House’, and make new friends along the way!
After an early evening BBQ in the patio of the I-House (starting at ???pm), the group will depart on foot around 7:30pm, for a visit to the Uproar Brewing Company on 1st Street. We’ll then make another stop or two on our way to the San Pedro Square Market for a snack. Don’t worry if beer isn’t your thing, it’s about getting together, socializing and seeing the changes in San Jose!
Walking tour of SJSU & downtown San Jose (Day)
Explore SJSU and downtown San Jose with our very own lively and dynamic former I-House
Community Operations Manager, Kristen Pendleton. This event is open to alumni and
family members.
We'll depart from front steps of I-House at 10:30 a.m.
If you haven't been on campus in a few years, you're in for quite a surprise. Stretch
your legs, reminisce with friends old and new, and check out some of the many changes,
including the Student Union (2014), Wellness Center (2015), Residence Halls (2016),
and Recreation Center (Fall 2018). Then we’ll head downtown to the revitalized SoFA
(South of First Area) district, where you can grab a coffee, a pint, or a meal.
40th Anniversary Gala Dinner, Program, and Dancing in the SJSU Student Union. Semi-formal. (Evening)
