Golden Grads . . .
Has It Really Been 50 Years?!
Each year, UNM Golden Graduates – the class celebrating its 50th anniversary – are honored at the University of New Mexico Commencement. This special recognition began as a salute to alumni unable to participate in their own commencement ceremonies because of military service in WWII and the Korean Conflict.
Special gold-colored robes are provided and the names of those returning for the ceremony are printed in the official program. In addition to participating in the Commencement ceremony, “Golden Graduates” are invited to a reunion reception, followed by The Heritage Club Dinner highlighted with UNM's Honorary Degree Recipients. This is a perfect opportunity to reminisce with former classmates and friends!

Thank you!
Thank you all so much for making my 50th Class of 1961 Reunion so special! Words alone cannot express the feelings of remembrance and pride I felt walking into the UNM Arena in that gold gown. The dinner and Heritage Club dinner on Friday evening were special.
Thank you again, Evelyn Neal
