Niagara College is gearing up to welcome alumni, former Knights athletes, family, friends and members of the College community back to its Welland Campus for ReuKnighted ’26 on Saturday, November 14.
The annual alumni reunion will bring the NC community together for a full day of Knights athletics, opportunities to reconnect and a tailgate celebration in The Core.
Since its debut in 2019, ReuKnighted has become a cherished NC tradition, bringing graduates from across generations together to celebrate their shared College experience. Hosted by Alumni Relations, in partnership with Athletics and Student Engagement, the event offers a mix of social activities and Knights athletics, giving attendees the chance to reconnect with familiar faces and create new memories right on campus.
“ReuKnighted is a special opportunity to welcome our alumni back to campus and celebrate the connections that continue long after graduation,” said Jana Boniferro, Director of Development and Alumni Relations, Niagara College. “Whether they’re returning to cheer on the Knights, reconnect with former teammates or spend time with friends and family, we’re excited to bring everyone together for another memorable ReuKnighted celebration.”
This year’s event will feature four home games, with the Knights basketball teams facing Fanshawe College and the volleyball teams taking on Humber Polytechnic.
Guests can also enjoy an exclusive tailgate celebration in The Core (Welland Campus) beginning at 4 p.m., featuring food and refreshments, a cash bar, photo opportunities, prizes and a kids zone. Live streams of the games will also be available in The Core throughout the event.

Supporting the next generation of Knights

Part of Niagara College’s Together campaign, the new fundraising initiative supports scholarships that help varsity student-athletes pursue their academic and athletic goals.
Throughout ReuKnighted, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about The Assist and how they can contribute to the success of current and future Knights.
