The date is set for your 45th reunion! Friday, September 20 and Saturday, September 21 - save the date. We can't wait to see you!

The plans are still coming together for the events during the weekend, but we do know that there will be a class dinner on Friday night and then a fun family-friendly BBQ on Saturday with lots of options throughout the day from campus tours, department open houses, athletic games, Zena Forest and Farm tour, museum tours, opportunities to visit the archives, Greek open houses, and much more. You won't want to miss it!

A room block has been set up at the Grand Hotel and information about how to make your reservation can be found on the right side of this web page.
