ÐÓ°É´«Ã½

Can you believe it? It’s time to celebrate our 40th reunion! It seems like only yesterday we were looking forward to a bash in the Green Room. 

We’ve spent 40 years building our lives, our careers, and our families. Now, let’s spend a few days together, rediscovering the friendship and class spirit that started it all. Come catch up with old friends, share laughs, and reminisce. We’ll kick things off with a cocktail reception at the Business Building, followed by a relaxed and nostalgic pub night at Big Ben’s. The highlight of the weekend will be Friday’s Pig Roast—prepared on-site by Lester’s Farm—at the Elk’s Club. And to round it all out, we’ll gather on Saturday for a cozy brunch at the Gypsy Tea Room downtown. 

All events are casual dress, classmates only, and prices include gratuities. We look forward to seeing you in October! 

Registration for all events will close 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026.

The President’s Golden Celebration recognizes alumni who are celebrating 50 or more years of graduation from ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University. Hosted by ÐÓ°É´«Ã½'s president and vice-chancellor, this invitation-only event features entertainment, a reception and the acceptance of a commemorative 50 year alumni pin. It's a chance to catch up with old friends, reminisce about days gone by and have a few laughs.

This year, we welcome the class of 1976 into the fold while welcoming back all previous and/or missed pin recipients who would like to attend.
