Class of 1968, Welcome to the Golden Grads Family
You’ve waited 50-years to experience this incredible Lumberjack tradition and the time has finally arrived! Mark your calendars and save the date for your distinguished Class of 1968 Golden Graduate Reunion.
This year’s 50th Reunion Celebration will take place Thursday, May 10 and Friday, May 11, 2018 in conjunction with Spring Commencement. Dressed in golden regalia, you will march in the processional and sit as honored guests in the front row during the Friday 11:00 a.m. ceremony in the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome in Flagstaff.
Reunion activities begin Thursday with check-in, then a guided campus bus tour in the afternoon, followed by a private reception and tour of Special Collections in the Cline Library. Friday morning you will don your golden gowns, and the bus will chauffer you to the Skydome one hour prior to the 11:00 a.m. commencement ceremony. After the ceremony, there will be a group photo on the steps of Old Main and celebration luncheon in the Pat Cline Reading Room of the Cline Library.
Your reunion is a great way to reminisce and reconnect with classmates. We encourage you to make your plans to attend this reunion as soon as possible. Please fill out the registration, cap and gown, and yearbook information forms and mail them back to the NAU Office of University Events.
