Class of 1969

This page is dedicated to the class of 1969 in honor of their 50th anniversary.

We hope all Golden Graduates will return to campus in Fall 2019 to reconnect and reminisce with the alumni, faculty, staff, and friends who helped shape our alma mater. We look forward to welcoming each and every alumni from 1950-1969 and presenting the Class of 1969 with their very own Golden Graduates Society medal!
