Shamrockin' Eve Returns March 11

Scranton tradition to unite alumni and seniors in celebration.
Shamrockin' Eve Returns March 11

The 12th annual Shamrockin’ Eve will return to the Byron Center Friday, March 11, at 8:30 p.m.

The event will unite alumni from the classes of 2018-2021 with current seniors to celebrate one of Scranton's favorite traditions. Featuring food, drinks, a DJ, a photo booth, and a sea of green t-shirts, Shamrockin’ Eve will truly be a night to remember.

Alumni can register online through Friday, March 11, at 9 a.m.; alumni may also register as walk-ins at the event for $40. Seniors must register online for $30 by March 11 at 9 a.m. as senior walk-ins will not be admitted. To see a list of registrants, visit this link. All attendees must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19, and the event will follow the health and safety protocols outlined in the Royals Back Together plan, which are subject to change. This year, $5 of every registration fee will benefit THR!VE, a program that enhances the experiences of Scranton students who identify as first-generation college students by providing scholarships and general support.

In 2009, the University held its first Shamrockin' Eve. The event was founded after a group of young alumni who wanted to reconnect with Scranton and each other prior to their five-year class reunion met with the late Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, S.J., the University’s 24th and 27th president, at Chapman Lake. It quickly evolved into an opportunity for current seniors and recent graduates to contribute to the success of future University students.
