Join West Michigan young alums for a sweet night out on Wealthy Street! Support local alumni-owned business Popnotch Goods with your presence (and your purchase!) on Wednesday, October 22 from 6–8 p.m. The event is free, and your registration includes a coupon to use on Popnotch popcorn or ice cream. As a bonus, all popcorn purchased (beyond the coupon) will be 10% off!

Do I have to sign up ahead of time?

We prefer that you do! While we welcome walk-ups, registering ahead of the event helps us with food, venue, and swag counts. 

Who is considered a young alum?

The alumni association invites Calvin grads from the last 15 years to our young alumni network events (approx. 2011 to 2025 graduates). If you're young at heart and outside of that range, we'd still love to have you! Additionally, feel free to bring a non-alum spouse, roommate, kids or friend along with you. We want you to be comfortable!
