Class of 1976
Dear Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Friends,
Fifty-four years ago, we walked onto Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s campus (many for the first time), all 550 of us, and began the adventure of a lifetime. Although the Vietnam War still raged, and the country was in turmoil, we had found a refuge from the storm to develop our minds, our hearts, and our spirits. Four years later, we would emerge with the skills and insights needed to take on the challenges of the world outside.
Your 50th Class Reunion Committee met in February to begin planning a wonderful weekend filled with a host of activites starting on Thursday night with the Class of 1976 Welcome Reception. We will enjoy hockey together at the Hockey Watch Party and a class dinner on Saturday night at Cheyenne Mountain Resort, complete with entertainment and a guest speaker. There will be so many opportunities to reconnect with classmates, learn something new, and remember our time together on campus.
Please join us for our 50th Reunion, we can't wait to see you all!
Sincerely,
Your Class Reunion Committee

Thursday, Oct. 8
2-5 p.m. | The Sixties after the Sixties: Music and Life at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ during the Early Block Plan Years
Location TBD
In honor of the Class of ’76 50th Reunion, experience the music of the sixties with Craig Werner ’74.
Take an in-depth look at the music of the sixties during three immersive sessions informed by Werner’s decades of experience examining the culture and meaning of music. Built around songs that were popular during the class of '76’s time on campus, these presentations reflect on the ways the battle over the meaning of the sixties took shape while the memories were still fresh.
Back-to-back sessions will begin at 2 p.m., 3 p.m., and 4 p.m. Come for one, two, or stay for all three! T
