Class of 1975 reunion recap

The Class of 1975 showed up in style for Commencement Weekend 2025. We’ve pulled together the best photos, a few memorable moments, and a short story to help you relive it (or see what you missed).

"Coming to Alumni Weekend is like stepping back in time with friends who just get me. It’s like reliving some of the best years of my life. And every time I head home, I have no voice left, a result of laughing nonstop and having so many deep, effortless conversations with old friends.”
