Annual Events
Scholars Reception
We value our scholarship donors and the opportunities they make possible for our students.
Our Scholars Reception connects scholarship recipients with donors, making the process
of giving and receiving less anonymous.
Alumni Wine Cruise
Plan to connect with fellow alumni each summer for a wonderful evening on the St. Lawrence River on our Alumni Wine Cruise Thursday, July 11, 2019. Proceeds from the wine cruise support the Alumni Association and student scholarships.

Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame
The truest measure of Jefferson Community College fulfilling its mission can be seen
in the accomplishments of its alumni. Each year, the Alumni Association celebrates
the achievements of Jefferson alumni by honoring a select number of individuals who
excel in their professional fields, demonstrate leadership and service to their communities,
and bring honor and distinction to Jefferson through their professional and personal
accomplishments. More than 90 alumni have been honored as Distinguished Alumni since the program's inception in 1989. The ceremony is paired with inductions to
the athletic Cannoneer Hall of Fame and held during Cannon Blast Weekend in September.
Alumni at the Ball Park
Alumni and family night with the Watertown Rapids.

Commemorative Pavers
Engrave your name, honor a graduate, friend or favorite professor, remember a loved
one, celebrate a special occasion or thank someone special in your life with a personalized
commemorative paver on Jefferson’s campus. Pavers can be purchased throughout the
year and a dedication ceremony is held in the fall.
