Fantastic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and Retiree Day 2025 | Alumni

Back to the PAC!

Fantastic Alumni, Faculty, Staff and Retiree Day returns to campus this February!

Grab your Waterloo jacket, bring your loudest King Warrior roar, and join us on campus on February 8! We're bringing fans back to the PAC to get loud for the men's and women's Warriors basketball team. Help us raise the decibel level and show the Algoma Thunderbirds what a home court advantage sounds like in the PAC.

Plus, the half time traditions continue with the annual Airplane Toss with a chance to win great prizes!
