Golden Reunion Celebration - College Classes of 1974 and 1975
Date and Time
Location
Concordia University, Nebraska CampusMark your calendars for JUNE 10th - 12th, 2025, as we celebrate the College Classes of 1974 and 1975 during a spectacular celebration!
The 50 year class reunions have grown in attendance and excitement as alumni return to reconnect with beloved classmates, friends and the university. We are delighted to prepare a week full of activities in your honor!
While you're on campus, enjoy
- staying in the dorms (either couples, singles or roommates!),
- class-led chapel,
- dedicated time to reconnect,
- and a very special new tradition: being presented with a Golden Medallion to recognize your service of 50 years to the church and world!
We received wonderful feedback from the Class of 1972 & 1973 who were here on campus last summer. They shared how much they enjoyed seeing members from an additional class providing more opportunities to reconnect. Our team used their thoughtful feedback to develop a new, exciting experience for your classes.
We do need your help. I am in search of about 4-5 people who would be willing to serve on the Reunion Committee to help provide some input into the schedule and activities. Please send me an email or leave me a voice message to share your interest.
We sincerely hope you come home to Concordia to celebrate, share your favorite memories and nurture your enthusiasm and love for Concordia, past, present and future. We look forward to welcoming you “home” to campus in June 2025 and presenting you with your “Golden Medallion!”
