Special events are not only an important way for us to reconnect with our graduates, but it’s a great opportunity for our alumni to catch up with or get to know fellow Fanshawe graduates.

Whether it’s catching the London Knights at Budweiser Gardens, watching the latest blockbuster movie at a private alumni theatre screening or winning tickets to your favourite concert, we have something for everyone. Since the pandemic, we’re also planning more virtual events so we can continue to provide exciting and meaningful content to our alumni, even if we can’t connect in person.

How do alumni access event tickets?

The best way to be informed about alumni ticket discounts—and possibly win free tickets! —is to register for Fanshawe Alumni PERKS. With loads of Fanshawe Alumni events happening throughout the year, you’ll wonder why you didn’t register earlier.

Free Fanshawe Athletics tickets

Another benefit Fanshawe alumni can take advantage of is free admission to all regular season Fanshawe Athletics games. Simply show your Fanshawe Alumni PERKS card at game entrance. View the Fanshawe Falcon’s schedule for all game dates.

Alumni-hosted events in your hometown

Many alumni-events naturally take place in the greater London region. If you live outside London and would like us to plan an event with alumni where you live, let’s chat. Contact us for more information and we’d be happy to talk about some options.

Turning Point with Priya Sam

We are thrilled to partner with alumna Priya Sam (Broadcast Journalism ’06) on the second season of her innovative podcast and YouTube show – Turning Point.

In each episode, Priya interviews a guest about a major turning point in their life. The turning points are as diverse as the guests; some stem from big decisions or taking a leap of faith, while others are rooted in tragedy or unexpected obstacles. All are inspiring. Throughout this season, Priya will interview three influential Fanshawe College Alumni.

About Priya Sam

Before starting Turning Point, Priya was the news anchor on CTV's national morning show, Your Morning, alongside Ben Mulroney and Anne-Marie Mediwake. Before that she was the news anchor for CTV Morning Live Atlantic broadcast out of Halifax.
