Even after you graduate from Bishop's, the Purple Pride never goes away. Once you Bleed Purple, it becomes a part of you, and neither time nor distance can change that. Alumni & Advancement helps you stay connected to, and engaged with, your alma mater and fellow Gaiters no matter how many kilometers or years separate you from Bishop’s.
Bishop’s is fortunate to have a large number of exceptionally loyal alumni who like to return to campus and we’ve long wanted to establish a venue that alumni can visit and call home when they do. Located on Harrold Drive (just across from Champlain and the Student Union Building), Griffin House will be that space – your space – your home-away-from-home.
Spread over three floors, Griffin House has a range of offerings for returning grads: a lounge to relax in, a multimedia conference room to work from, kitchen facilities, and a spacious outdoor area for receptions, BBQs and a host of other events. The Advancement Office has also moved their offices into the upstairs, so alumni can catch up with us whenever they return.
Once a Gaiter, always a Gaiter!
