WVU 50-Year Reunion!
Each year our Emeritus Club hosts a reunion to honor our 50-year graduates and this year the reunion will be held Friday and Saturday, June 2-4.
Emeritus weekend is one of my favorite weekends all year long at WVU. Alumni return from across the globe to reunite with their classmates and get a fresh look at their Alma Mater. The warm embrace of a long-lost classmate, the stories of WVU from years past, and the journeys taken over the course of a career make this event incredibly inspirational.
This year we’ll be honoring the class of 1967, known as the centennial class. In 1967 WVU was celebrating its 100th anniversary and I’m told there were all kinds of events and celebrations including a special commencement ceremony. I can’t wait to hear the stories and see some of the pictures and other items our Alumni bring with them!
We will also be honoring any graduate prior to 1967 that has not had an opportunity to be awarded their Emeritus medallion. If that is you, please attend! Last year we honored a graduate from the class of 1948. It sure was a treat to meet Cova Strickland Rexroad!
For those of you who do not meet the 50+ year criteria for the Emeritus Club, you’re welcome too! I assure you that you’ll be inspired as well after meeting our Alumni legends!
If you prefer to talk to someone please call Christyn Hill at 304-293-4731 or e-mail her at christyn.hill@mail.wvu.edu.
Let’s Go!
