Alumni Resources
Alumni Weekends
Sunrise holds at least two annual alumni events for families. This is an opportunity to reconnect with Sunrise employees and other alumni families. These weekends often include recreational therapy tasks, and support groups.
On Campus Alumni Events
One Alumni weekend occurs each year During the summer months. This on campus event allows families to come back and be with us in a familiar setting, with more interaction with Sunrise employees. This is a great way to reconnect with other alumni families and recommit to the values established while at Sunrise.
Off Campus Alumni Events
One Alumni event is planned off campus somewhere in the U.S and one of those usually occurs in January or February each year. Some recent off campus weekends have been in Savannah, GA, San Diego, CA and Tucson, AZ.
Upcoming Alumni Events:On-Campus Alumni Reunion - June (23rd - 24th), 2011
