Welcome to our Class of 1977 50th Reunion Website!
Excitement continues to build as our 50th Reunion draws closer. We are pleased to share that the reunion committee has chosen ’Gate for Life as our reunion theme –a reminder of our lifelong devotion to Colgate and connections to each other.
Registration is now open for our class! Reunion Weekend is June 3 – 6, 2027. Click here to register.

Thank you to these classmates who already submitted their profiles.
An important part of the yearbook is remembering those who are no longer with us. Please submit your memories and reflections of deceased classmates by Sunday, November 15.
Please note: All classmates will have access to a free digital version of our 50th Reunion Yearbook. If you’d like a hard copy, you can order one when you register for Reunion.
Reunion Events: Check the Events page for details on what’s already in the works for our big weekend on campus.
Reunion Gift: Our 50th Reunion Class Gift allows us to come together to honor the university that helped shape who we are today. Gifts of all sizes, and to any Colgate designation that is meaningful to you, will count towards our goal. Please be thinking of how you plan to honor the university through your philanthropy. We’ll share more about class gift options in the coming months.
And finally, don’t forget to share your photos from our school days!
Look for our next reunion update newsletter on Colgate Day – Friday, November 13th.
