Are you a Manchester Mate?

Were you stung by cupid’s arrow on campus as a student and upon graduation gained more than a degree at MC? Did your charms and pursuit win you a soul mate? When two people meet on campus and unite, they become “Manchester Mates.” 

Our alumni who gather for homecoming and reunions love to tell their campus love stories. The most cherished stories usually begin with “I met my spouse at MC.” They often seek out the fountain where they were gleefully dunked by classmates who learned of their engagement. It’s true: Check out this photo in the 1957 Aurora!

Last year during Alumni Days, one couple requested a private tour to the bell tower atop the Administration Building—their proposal site! Ah, that’s romance Manchester style!
