Get ready for the largest alumni event of the year, which will include a special OAC 150 celebration!

For 150 years, the University of Guelph’s Ontario Agricultural College has been a powerhouse of innovation and education in food, agriculture, communities and the environment. On May 1st, OAC will officially turn 150 years old. This date signifies an important milestone for OAC, one that will allow the community to come together, reminisce, reconnect and reflect on the impact that the OAC has had on the Canadian and global agri-food system.

College Royal is the largest university open house event of its kind in North America. Each March, the University of Guelph opens its doors to the general public in a campus-wide open house that attracts thousands of visitors every year. For students, staff, and alumni.
