The weekend reunion will start with check-in at 9:30 a.m. Friday, May 6 in the Student Union, followed by a campus tour, a Mix and Mingle with classmates and a luncheon in the Student Union Ballroom.  After lunch, graduates will receive caps and gowns and will be bused to Magale Recital Hall for their 50-year commencement ceremony. After the ceremony, the group will have free time until a 6:30 p.m. reception in Orville Hanchey Gallery.

Saturday’s event is the 50+ luncheon in the Student Union Ballroom in which all graduates of 50 and more years are invited.
