Alumni and friends soaked up the fun under the tents at the OHSU Alumni Picnic. BBQ sliders, snow cones and giant bubbles kept everyone smiling into the evening.

Alumni Weekend Headquarters on Marquam Hill was bustling on Saturday as alumni stopped by between campus tours and expert-led talks. The day culminated in a keynote from Brian Druker, M.D., CEO of the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, who shared his vision to revolutionize the cancer care experience.

From 1963 to 2011, twelve classes spanning six decades of OHSU alumni gathered to celebrate milestone class reunions.
