Welcome Back!

The Class of 1969 will celebrate our 55th reunion September 13-15 and we can’t wait to see you back on campus!

Event Overview

The festivities begin at lunch on Friday!  We will gather at the Benson University Center for the Golden Deacs Luncheon where we are in for a treat as we hear from Distinguished University Professor, Rogan Kersh ’86 who will share what he learned at Wake Forest as a student, professor and alumnus. Look for tables marked for the 55th Reunion, so we can sit with classmates. The afternoon offers multiple opportunities including Party So Dear which begins at 4:30 p.m. At 6:00 p.m. we will head to the Mag Room in Reynolda Hall, where we can enjoy the last part of Party So Dear from the balcony of the Mag Room while enjoying appetizers, drinks and good friends from the Class of 1969. While we know that some may have other events on Friday evening, we hope you will do both! Come to the party for as long as you can and then head to your next gathering.

On Saturday, enjoy the Festival on the Quad and Campus Open House, the Alumni Tailgate and the WFU vs Ole Miss football game to name a few highlights. 

Game tickets are available directly through the ticket office by calling (336)758-3322 or online at godeacs.com . More exciting plans for the weekend are being finalized, so check back for updates. 

We hope you’ll make plans to join us for a memorable weekend!  Contact your friends, make your hotel reservations, and keep checking this website for more information as the weekend gets closer.  Looking forward to seeing you September 13-15!

Go Deacs!
