Anna Maria College’s Fall Fest 2025 brought together generations of Anna Maria alumni and families for an unforgettable weekend celebration on September 26-27. The events seamlessly combined Homecoming spirit, Family Weekend activities, Athletic events, and reunions for the classes of 1965, 1975, and 2000, who celebrated milestone years: 60, 50, and 25 years.
The weather was perfect, and visitors could feel the excitement in the air across campus. At home games for Volleyball, Men’s Soccer, and Football, Alumni, families, and students filled the stands and sidewalks, showcasing the unwavering AMCAT pride that defines our community.
A highlight of the weekend was the special President’s Reception and Dinner where guests reconnected with classmates and conversed with our new President, Dr. Sean Ryan. This gathering provided the perfect opportunity for alumni to hear about recent news and updates at the College while celebrating the cherished memories that bind our community together.
At dinner, President Ryan told alumni, “This institution helped shape you and you have helped to shape it in return. Your life achievements and those of all alumni, inspire our current students and demonstrate the boundless potential of an Anna Maria education. You are living proof of our mission in action. You embody the values we hope to instill in every graduating class: intellectual curiosity, ethical leadership, and a commitment to service that extends far beyond personal success.”
Throughout the weekend, reunion class members from 1965, 1975, and 2000 gathered to reminisce about their time on 50 Sunset Lane, sharing stories that spanned decades of Anna Maria history. These milestone reunions reminded us of the lasting bonds formed at Anna Maria College.
Fall Fest 2025 embodied everything that makes Anna Maria College special: community, tradition, athletics, and the enduring connections that transform classmates into lifelong family. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year for more memories and Anna Maria spirit!
