Class of 1973
The date is set for your 40th 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 our class will forego having a class dinner on Friday night like we typically have and instead focus our attention on Saturday. We'll have lots to do on campus on Saturday from campus tours, department open houses, athletic games, Zena Forest and Farm tour, museum tours, opportunities to visit the archives, Greek open houses, a fun family-friendly BBQ and much more. You won't want to miss it! We'll cap off Saturday with a class-only gathering. We're still working on the details for that, so be sure to check back soon for more updates!
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.

Looking back
The Willamette Archive, part of the Hatfield Library, unveiled a new website last year containing recorded Glee songs from many years across the last century.
See the rest of the Glee collection, including the 1970 program. You can navigate between videos, photos programs programs and more by using the headings at the top of the table. Also make sure to check out the 1970 Glee Memory Book and the winning class song from 1973!
