Your class, like Golden Reunion Classes before it, is creating a special 50th Reunion Memory Book. Every member of the class is invited to share their memories of their time on campus 鈥� pictures included!
A secure, easy-to-use form where you can write and submit your entry is below. It can take a narrative form or simply be a bulleted list of memories 鈥� you decide. Whichever style you choose, please limit your entry to TWO pages (about 750 words).
You’re also invited to submit a page in memory of any friends or relatives from the Class of 1975 who have passed.

Start writing your entry today! It’s never to early to get started!
